Military Humor

People of all ages and cultures respond to humour.  One of the most difficult things to do is appreciate a little humor. The joke and knock-offs is for your enjoyment. If you don't want to get a good laugh just pass this page by. Some of the jokes are a little morbid in nature, some deal with combat; just understand that humor does help us relax even if its just for a short time!

TO LIVE LONGER - A FEW SIMPLE RULES OF COMBAT


  1. IF THE ENEMY IS IN RANGE - SO ARE YOU
  2. DON'T LOOK CONSPICUOUS -IT DRAWS FIRE
  3. INCOMING FIRE HAS THE RIGHT OF WAY
  4. TRY TO LOOK UNIMPORTANT-THEY MAY BE LOW ON AMMO
  5. DON'T DRAW FIRE - IT IRRITATES THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU
  6. THE ONLY THING MORE ACCURATE THAN INCOMING ENEMY FIRE - IS INCOMING FRIENDLY FIRE
  7. DON'T EVER BE THE FIRST, DON'T EVER BE LAST AND DON'T EVER VOLUNTEER TO DO ANYTHING

On the way down he drank the case of beer. Unfortunately he landed right in the middle of 100 Vietnamese soldiers. He shot 70 with his machine gun, but ran out of bullets, so he pulled out his machete and killed 20 more, but the blade on his machete broke, so he killed the last ten with his bare hands"

Teacher looks in shock at Billy and asks if there is possibly any moral to his story....Billy replies, "Yeah... don't mess with my dad when he's been drinking....
