The Ol' Ranger's addendum:

* The important things are always simple; the simple are always hard.
* The easy way is always mined.

* Professional soldiers are predictable; the world is full of dangerous amateurs.
* Military Intelligence is a contradiction.
* Fortify your front; you'll get your rear shot up.
* Weather ain't neutral.
* If you can't remember, the Claymore is pointed toward you.
* Air defense motto: shoot 'em down; sort 'em out on the ground.
* 'Flies high, it dies; low and slow, it'll go.
* The Cavalry doesn't always come to the rescue.
* Napalm is an area support weapon.
* Mines are equal opportunity weapons.
* B-52s are the ultimate close support weapon.
* Sniper's motto: reach out and touch someone.
* Killing for peace is like screwing for virginity.
* The one item you need is always in short supply.
* Interchangeable parts aren't.
* It's not the one with your name on it; it's the one addressed "to whom it may concern" you've got to think about.
* When in doubt, empty your magazine.

* The complexity of a weapon is inversely proportional to the IQ of the weapon's operator.
* Field experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
* No matter which way you have to march, its always uphill.
* If enough data is collected, a board of inquiry can prove anything.
* For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism. (in boot camp)
* Air strikes always overshoot the target, artillery always falls short.
* When reviewing the radio frequencies that you just wrote down, the most important ones are always illegible.
* Those who hesitate under fire usually do not end up KIA or WIA.
* The tough part about being an officer is that the troops don't know what they want, but they know for certain what they don't want.
