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 Iraqis!"
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 Iraqis!"
Furious, the Iraqi commander sends his next best 100 troops over the
dune and instantly a huge firefight commences. After 10 minutes of
battle, again silence. The American voice calls out again "One United
States Marine is better than one thousand Iraqis!"
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's two of them!"
