Some humorous military wisdom:

When the pin is pulled, Mr. Grenade is not our friend.
-U.S. Marine Corps
"Cluster bombing from B-52s is very, very accurate. The bombs
are guaranteed to always hit the ground."

just bombed."
-U.S. Air Force Manual
"Whoever said the pen is mightier than the sword obviously never encountered automatic weapons."
-Gen. MacArthur
"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."

volunteer to do anything."

My personal favorite:
When in combat, and the action is getting intense, do not be afraid or panic. If you still need guidance, ask yourself "Self, am I still alive?" If the answer is "Yes", keep fighting!
