Wit and wisdom from the military manuals and flight records, ...

A slipping gear could let your M203 grenade launcher fire when you least expect it. That would make you quite unpopular in what’s left of your unit. — Army’s magazine of preventive maintenance
Aim towards the enemy. — Instruction printed on U.S. rocket launcher
When the pin is pulled Mr. Grenade is not our friend. — U.S. Marine Corps
It is generally inadvisable to eject directly over the area you just bombed. — U.S. Air Force Manual
Whoever said the pen is mightier than the sword obviously never encountered automatic weapons. — General MacArthur
Five-second fuses only last three seconds. — Infantry Journal
If your attack is going too well, you’re walking into an ambush. —Infantry Journal
No combat-ready unit has ever passed inspection. —Joe Gay
Any ship can be a minesweeper. Once. — Unknown
The three most common expressions (or famous last words) in aviation are: “Why is it doing that?”, “Where are we?” and “Oh S...!”
Airspeed, altitude, and brains. Two are always needed to complete the flight successfully.
If something hasn’t broken on your helicopter, it’s about to.
Basic Flying Rules: Try to stay in the middle of the air. Do not go near the edges of it. The edges of the air can be recognized by the appearance of ground, buildings, sea, trees, and interstellar space. It is much more difficult to fly there.

Ever heard of "Murphy's Laws of Combat" ??
1. Incoming fire has the right of way!
2. If the enemy is within range, so are you.
3. Remember, your weapon was produced by the lowest bidder!!
There a bunch more but I can't find the paper.
