~Military Humor Break~

With all the respect due to our Military Forces & others...just a little lighthearted fun!



Here are some funny quotations from certain people and Army hand books.

"Aim towards the Enemy."- Instruction printed on US Rocket Launcher

"When the pin is pulled, Mr. Grenade is not our friend."- U.S. Army



"Cluster bombing from B-52s is very, very accurate. The bombs are guaranteed to always hit the ground."- U.S.A.F.

Ammo Troop "If the enemy is in range, so are you."- Infantry Journal



"A slipping gear could let your M203 grenade launcher fire when you least expect it. That would make you quite unpopular in what's left of your unit."- Army's magazine of preventive maintenance.

"It is generally inadvisable to eject directly over the area you just bombed." - U.S. Air Force Manual



"Try to look unimportant; they may be low on ammo."- Infantry Journal

"Tracers work both ways."- U.S. Army Ordnance



"Five-second fuses only last three seconds."- Infantry Journal

"Bravery is being the only one who knows you're afraid."- Col. David Hackworth



"If your attack is going too well, you're probably walking into an ambush."- Infantry Journal

"No combat-ready unit has ever passed inspection."- Joe Gay



"Any ship can be a minesweeper ... once."- Anon

"Never tell the Platoon Sergeant you have nothing to do."- Unknown Army Recruit



"Don't draw fire; it irritates the people around you."- Your Buddies

(And lastly) "If you see a bomb technician running, try to keep up with him."-- U.S.A. Ammo

Identity Theft

READ: Matthew 5:21-26

Whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. —Matthew 5:22

Several years ago while having lunch with a friend, a white man called me “boy.” Shock gave way to anger and hurt. My friend even shed tears. Why? The term boy was an insulting label used of black men in the US during slavery, an attempt to steal their identity by demoting them to less than men. As that ugly word recklessly barreled its way through my soul, I wanted to respond with an equally unkind name. But some ancient words from our Master about murder and anger changed my mind.

As Jesus was teaching His followers, He quoted the sixth commandment—“You shall not murder”—and the penalty for breaking it (Matt. 5:21). Then He gave a fuller interpretation. Taking someone’s life was not limited to physical murder; you could show contempt for someone through name-calling and be just as guilty. In Jewish culture, to call someone “Raca” or “Fool” (v.22) was the equivalent of calling someone empty-headed or an idiot. It was used to demean and demote another. What makes name-calling so damaging is that it insults the God who created that person in His image!

Jesus taught His followers that the weight of our neighbor’s glory is a burden we carry daily. If we follow His teaching, we won’t be guilty of identity theft.

Teach me to love, this is my prayer—
May the compassion of Thy heart I share;
Ready a cup of water to give,
May I unselfishly for others live.  —Peterson

To insult the creature is to insult the Creator.
