"Infantry are a lot of fun . . . to step on."

Actually, I really like Dick Marckino's "10 Commandments of the Rogue Warrior:"

  1. I am the War Lord and the God of Combat and I will always lead from the front, not the rear.
  2. I will treat you all alike - just like s***.
  3. Thou shalt do nothing I will not do first, and thus will you be created Warriors in my deadly image.
  4. I shall punish thy bodies because the more thou sweatest in training, the less thou bleedest in combat.
  5. Indeed, if thou hurteth in thy efforts and thou suffer painful dings, then thou art doing it right.
  6. Thou hast not to like it, thou hast just to do it.
  7. Thou shalt Keep It Simple, Stupid.
  8. Thou shalt never assume.
  9. Verily, thou art not paid for thy methods, but for thy results, which meaneth: Thou shalt kill thine enemy by any means available before he killeth you.
  10. Thou shalt, in the Warrior's Mind and Soul, always remember My ultimate and final commandment: THERE ARE NO RULES; THOU SHALT WIN AT ALL COSTS!!


Rules to live by.
Storm
