A large group of Iraqi 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 Iraqi!”
The Iraqi 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 Iraqi!”
Furious, the Iraqi commander sends his next best 100 troops over the dune
and instantly a huge fire fight commences. After 10 minutes of battle, again
silence.
The American voice calls out again “One United States Marine is better than
one thousand Iraqi!”
The enraged Iraqi Commander musters 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 Iraqi fighter crawls back over the dune
and with his dying words tells his commander, “Don’t send any more men, it’s
a trap. There are two of them!”
