A Little Military Philosophy.
The author of this report is a veteran of the United States Army. Here
are just a few things we used to say when I was in.
You can only get so much of this ass.
Everybody likes a little ass, but nobody likes a SMARiTT ass.
It never rains in the army, it rains on the army.
We are not in the army, we are the army.
A little less talk and a little more work and you just might get something
done.
I work for my country, I don't work for you.
You gotta be smarter than the machine your working with.
CYA - Cover Your Own Ass.
They say, you may not respect the man, but you do have to respect his
rank. I say, you may not have to respect my rank, but you are sure as hell
going to respect me as a man.
Fifty percent of the battle is knowing who the enemy is, sometime it is
ninety percent of the battle, especially if the enemy is within.
My Personal Military Oath.
