A large group of Taliban soldiers are moving down a road when they hear a
voice call from behind a sand-dune.
"One Marine is better than ten taliban". The Taliban commander quickly
sends 10 of his best soldiers over the dune whereupon a gun-battle breaks
out and continues for a few minutes, then
silence. The voice then calls out "One Marine is better than one hundred
taliban". Furious, the Taliban commander sends his next best 100 men
over the dune and instantly a huge gun fight commences. After 10 minutes
of battle, again silence.
The voice calls out again "One 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, its a trap. There's actually two of
them.
