EnglishAdam,
Just think, had it been French soldiers that were captured the soldiers would have been cooking their keeper’s breakfast and singing songs with them:
”Allah loves you, Allah loves me, we’re one big happy family, with a great big kiss and hung from me to you, we’ll all sing and chant death to America…”

My website is crashed right now, or I'd have the original version. If I recall, the list was originally by an Army Major and called the "rules of gunfighting". I think the first rule was something like "Bring a gun, bring a second gun, bring all your friends with guns."
And yes, that bunch must have R&R'd in France, eating cheese and learning how to wine...
Since the Revolution (or there abouts) we have been working well with the Brits and they have always shown their courage under fire.

I got my site back up, so here's what I understand to be the "original" list...
Number 10 is probably my favorite!
Rules for Gunfighting, from Major Gustav Miskovsky
Us Army Rules For Gunfighting
1. Bring a gun. Preferably, bring at least two guns. Bring all your friends who have guns.
2. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life is expensive.
3. Only hits count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss.
4. If your shooting stance is good, you're probably not moving fast enough nor using cover correctly.
5. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (Lateral and diagonal movement are preferred).
6. If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a long gun and a friend with a long gun.
7. In ten years, nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived.
8. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating, reloading, and running.
9. Accuracy is relative: Most combat shooting standards will be more dependent on "pucker factor" than the inherent accuracy of a gun.
9.5. Use a gun that works EVERY TIME. "All skill is in vain when an Angel pisses in the flintlock of your musket."
10. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have beat you to death with it because it is empty.
11. Always cheat, always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.
12. Have a plan.
13. Have a back-up plan because the first one won't work.
14. Use cover or concealment as much as possible. The visible target should be in FRONT of your gun.
15. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.
16. Don't drop your guard.
17. Always tactical load and threat scan 360 degrees.
18. Watch their hands. Hands kill (in God we trust. Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them).
19. Decide to be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH.
20. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.
21. Be polite. Be professional. But have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
22. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.
23. Your number one Option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.
24. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with a "4".
