Subj: Taliban Soldiers vs. American Soldiers
A large group of Taliban soldiers are moving down a road when they hear
a voice call from behind a sand-dune, "One American soldier 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 American soldier 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 soldier is better than one thousand Taliban".
The enraged Taliban Commander musters 1000 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 two of them."
