Rules for Gun fighting


USMC Rules for Gun fighting:

1. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.
2. Decide to be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH.
3. Have a plan.
4. Have a back-up plan, because the first one probably won't work.
5. Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
6. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun whose caliber does not start with a "4."
7. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap.
Life is expensive.
8. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (Lateral & diagonal preferred.)
9. Use cover or concealment as much as possible.
10. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.
11. Always cheat; always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.
12. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics.
They will only remember who lived.
13. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating or reloading.
14. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to
beat you to death with it because it is empty.
15. And above all ... don't drop your guard.

You also forgot terrorist rules for gun fighting:

1- Forget the guns

2- Hyjack jets or if you don't have pilots liscence, mix up a brew of house hold chemicals, fertilizer and petroleum product, or whatever other nasty crap you can think of and target innocent civillians.

3- Count on liberal a-hole politicians who are too worried about offending their liberal voters and the global ecomony to deal with you appropriatley.

4- Also count on a nation becoming too complascent after you've disrupted their ecomony,costing billions of dollars, to continue bombing the hell out of you're ass.

5- Once you've adhered to rules 1 thru 4 start at 1 again.

General Chesty Puller:

Beginning his career as an enlisted man and retiring as a Lt. General, Chesty Puller finally retired after 37 years of leading Marines against the enemy. Joining the Marines in 1918, Chesty quickly amassed essential combat experience against rebels in Haiti and Central America. Direct experience in the lower ranks in real combat situations made Chesty Puller know war intuitively, remarking constantly of his frustrations with the antiquated and impotent training methods used by U.S. Army officers like Douglas MacArthur.

When Marines hit the beaches in the Pacific, unlike the army generals, Chester was right there on the front lines with his men making sure they had the equipment and direction they needed to kill the enemy. Even before the war, Chesty began plans to train his marines under live fire in anticipation of the events soon to unfold. In his first battle against the Japs, the U.S. Marines attacked using the old 1903 Springfield Bolt Action Rifles. When army units bringing crates of brand new M1-Garand rifles found themselves pinned down by Jap fire, Puller's Marines braved the fire, retrieving the new heavy duty weapons for themselves instead.

Rest in peace Chesty.

Chesty was one of my brother's idols. He took along Chesty's autobiography when he visited him at Bethesda Naval Hospital on his last days. The humble hero signed it & chatted with him.

He was a gentleman to the end.

Chesty was a heck of a Marine & hero. Unfortunatly in today's military he would have probably been RIF'ed or forced out some other way.

I retired from the Army in '91 with 20 yrs & 5 mo active service, and at my rank I could have stayed to 24 years, but shortly after I retired they cut the retention for my rank to 22 years. In one of the other threads, I think on the picture post, usahog was talking about the erosion of the retirement benefits. There was decention in the ranks during the '80s because there was talk at that time about cutting or reducting the retirement benefits. They also implemented a Qualitative Management Program where they weeded out those who they felt were not up to par. That was one reason that the annual evaluation reports were/are so invlated. I knew a SSG (E-6) who was forced out at 16 1/2 years service, and he wasn't a bad soldier. Our Colonel even went to bat for him at DA, but the decision had already been made due to a minor comment on one of his evaluation reports five or six years earlier.

OK... now that I've vented, its time to go smoke something, maybe a Drew Estate BRIKK... Yummy!!
