Starbucks does NOT sell coffee.

If the enemy is in range, so are you.

Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action.

All strategies need a Plan B.

The Plan B should be better than "and then we all starve to death in a snowbank outside Smolensk."

When a statement begins "It's not that I don't...", the speaker doesn't.

Avionics are smoke powered....

... Because when smoke starts leaking out of the boxes, the fairy kit stops working.

On my fitters course the instructor told the class "radar is voodoo magic. Nobody really understands how the system works".

Women need a reason to have sex; men need an opportunity.

When it comes to shopping, the reverse is true.

Michael Caine accent:
"If you can see the camera, then the camera can see you.
Not a lot of people know that."

If an advance is going well, you're walking into an ambush!

The Battle plan ceases to exist, the moment you engage with the enemy.

Prior planning prevents piss pour performances

Time spent on reconnaissance is seldom wasted
