Warnings issued by the American military to their own troops:

"Aim towards the enemy." - Instruction printed on US Rocket Launcher.

"When the pin is pulled, Mr Grenade is not our friend." - US Marine Corps.

"Cluster bombing from B-52s is very, very accurate. The bombs are guaranteed to always hit the ground." - USAF Ammo Troop.

"If the enemy is in range, so are you." - Infantry Journal.

"A slipping gear could let your M203 grenade launcher fire when you least expect it. That would make you quite unpopular in what is left of your unit." - Army's magazine of preventive maintenance.

"It is generally inadvisable to eject directly over the area you just bombed." - U.S. Air Force Manual.

"Try to look unimportant; they may be low on ammo." - Infantry Journal.

"Tracers work both ways." - US Army Ordnance.

"Five-second fuses only last three seconds." - Infantry Journal.

"Any ship can be a minesweeper... once." - Anon.

"Do not draw fire; it irritates the people around you." - Your comrades.

"If you see a bomb technician running, try to keep up with him." - USAF Ammo Troop

Loc: That would be telling...
LMAO the thing is that some of them could well be true, anyone seen 'Jarhead' - where one of the marines is holding a Claymore and he asks a fellow comrade 'which way does it go' someone replies 'read it' - it says 'This way towards enemy' Durr... Cracking film though, a must see !!!

If they didn't have those things they'd probably get sued!
