War joke


One US Marine


A large group of Taliban soldiers are moving down a road when they hear a voice call from behind a sand dune. "One United States Marine is better than ten Taliban!"

The Taliban commander quickly sends 10 of his best soldiers over the dune, whereupon a gun battle breaks and continues for a few minutes, then silence.

The voice then calls out "One United States Marine is better than one hundred Taliban!" Furious, the Taliban commander sends his next best 100 troops over the dune and instantly a huge firefight commences. After 10 minutes of battle, again silence.

The American voice calls out again "One United States Marine is better than one thousand Taliban!"

The enraged Taliban Commander mu
sters one thousand fighters and sends them across the dune. Cannons, rockets and machine guns ring out as a huge battle is fought. Then silence.

Eventually one wounded Taliban fighter crawls back over the dune and with his dying words tells hiscommander, "Don't send any more men, it's a trap......

There's two of them!"

Suppose we gave a war and no one came. This has a different meaning than back in the 60's

It certainly tells you something about Saddam, eh? So many of his soldiers could not wait to turn themselves over, and they were so few to begin with. Amazing when contrasted with the tenacity and loyalism present in Vietnam. And I don't think it was just the terrain either...
