A young infantry soldier is on Stag at 0300 when he sees a figure approaching his position.
"Halt!" He shouts out.
The figure continues to advance, so the young soldier places his rifle into the shoulder.
"Halt!" He shouts again, but still, the figure comes closer.
The frightened soldier switches his safety catch to fire and once more shouts out "Halt - or I shoot!"
The figure still moves towards him, so he fires three rounds into it.
At stand to, he climbs out of his trench and goes to where the figure once stood. There, bleeding on the floor, is a member of the Grenadier Guards.
"You stupid idiot!!!, I shouted 'halt' three times last night," says the young soldier
Coughing and spluttering blood, the Grenadier looks up at him and says:
"Yes, I know. But you gave it on the wrong foot!"
------------- Some days you are the dog,
some days you are the tree.
When I was a little boy
Tucked up in my bed
They said, "Consider the Army
If you want to get ahead"
I looked at my toy soldiers
To the Majors and Generals, I said
"Sod the higher orders" and I
Played with my Privates instead
------------- Never argue with fools........They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
------------- Yesterday is already a dream and tomorrow is only a vision, but today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope.
