Truisms Can Be Trite, But Some Are Funny

Truisms can be trite, but some are funny. This is especially true in military-speak. In military jargon take the obvious and sometimes make it funny.  If you have taking the obvious and making it funnyspent any time in the military, you may have heard some of these.

"If the enemy is in range, so are you."

Infantry Journal
 ---------

"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
------

"Any ship can be a minesweeper....Once."

Naval Ops Manual
------

"Never tell the Platoon Sergeant you have nothing to do."

 Unknown Marine Recruit
------

"If you see a bomb technician running, keep up with him."

USAF  - Ammo Troop
 -------

"The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire."
 ------

Brenda-I can add to that "Don't tell your Mom you're bored." My wife had answers for our kids. She could change boredom to chores in a heartbeat. Thanks for comment.

Than-I'm sure there are thousands that could be added. Some are a bit too off color for a family blog though. Thanks for stopping.

Hi Judi-Thanks for stopping.

Endre, I'm sure there are newer sayings that are even better than the old classics.

Karen-Yes, and I'm sure Art has a few you'd heard from time-to-time too.
