"Which Branch?"
A soldier, a sailor, and an airman, got into a fight
about which service is best. The fight was so
heated, that they killed each other.
Soon, they found themselves in Heaven. They
see St. Peter walk by and ask him: "Which
Branch of Service is the best?"
St. Peter replied: "I can't answer that. But, I will
ask G~d what He thinks the next time I see Him."
Some time later the three see St. Peter again
and ask him if he was able to find the answer.
Suddenly, a dove landed on St. Peter's shoulder.
The dove was carrying a note in its beak. St. Peter
opened the note and read it out loud to the three
fellows: "Gentlemen: All the Branches of the
Service are 'Honorable and Noble'. Each one of
you has served your country well. Be proud of that."
Signed,
G~D

"Taliban Trap"
A large group of Taliban soldiers are moving
down a road when they hear a voice call from
behind a sand-dune. "One American Marine is
better than ten Taliban." The Taliban commander
quickly sends 10 of his best soldiers over the dune
where upon a gun-battle breaks out and continues
for a few minutes, then silence.
The voice then calls out "One American Marine is
better than one hundred Taliban." Furious, the
Taliban commander sends his next best 100 troops
over the dune and instantly a huge gunfight commences.
After 10 minutes of battle, again silence.
The American voice calls out again, "One American
Marine is better than one thousand Taliban." The
enraged Taliban Commander musters one thousand
fighters and sends them across the dune. Cannon,
rocket and machine gun fire ring out as a huge battle
is fought. Then silence.
Eventually one wounded Taliban 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 actually two of them."
