A group of American soldiers are wandering around in the middle east
somewhere, when they see a drunk Australian soldier. He yells out to them
"Australians are 100 times the fighters you Americans are!" Then he walks
over behind a sand dune.
The American commander is furious, so he yells to his men "I want a hunder
of you to go over there teach that damn Australian a lesson."
A hundred men charge over the sand dune, and there are sounds of gunfire,
screems, explosions, and a smell of gunpowder and blood fills the air.
The fighting dies away, and the Australian pops his head up and yells
"Australians are 1,000 times the fighters you Americans are!"
This infuriates the commander even more! He sends a thousand men over the
dune.
The air is filled with even more gun fire, explosions, screams, and the
fighting is so fierce that the dust in the air is left red with blood.
The fighting dies away, and again the Australian pops his head up and this
time yells "Australians are 10,000 times the fighters you Americans are!"
The American commander is so outraged this time that he calls in for
reinforcements, and sends 10,000 marines over the dune. The fighting lasts
for hours. The sound is deafening, and the dust is almost as thick as the
ground.
As the fighting is beginning to die away, a lone Marine, bleeding, and badly
injured crawls over the dune, back to the American commander.
The commander walks up to him and kneels down. "What's happening over
there!"
Running short of breath, the Marine speaks to his commander. "Don't send
anymore men."
"Why? What's going on?"
"It's a trap." the Marine replies, with his last ounce of breath, "There are
two of them."
