Marine Rules of Combat

I think I've seen Bane reference Rule #1.

Here they all are.

Make no mistake. They are only listed on a 'joke page' because they will entertain you in the same way that you laughed when you saw Indiana Jones shoot the large sword weilding muslim. They are true but fundamentally so brutal in nature that our 'civilized' brains have to sneak them in the little side door called humor.

Just remember that today we think of Wyatt Earp as a great gunfighter. The reality was that he'd sneak up, club them in the head, knock them down, and then shoot them. But you know what? He won the gunfights and that is what counts.
