Joke of the (insert arbitrary amount of time it took me to hear another joke worth posting) #11

This one is for the troops


An Iraqi military unit was out on a desert patrol, when they came to a hill. A voice cried out to them from the other side saying, "one U.S. Marine could kill 10 Iraqi soldiers"

The commanding officer, amused, sent 10 of his soldiers over the hill. Gunshots rang out for a few minutes, and then it went silent. Again the voice shouted out, "One U.S. Marine could easily kill 100 Iraqi soldiers."

The Iraqi commander, now somewhat impressed, sent 100 of his best soldiers over the hill. Another firefight ensued, but quickly came to an end. Once more, the voice shouted, "One U.S. Marine could kill 1000 Iraqi soldiers."

The commander, now growing frustrated, sent 1000 of his men over the hill. The shooting started again. When it stopped, the commander looked to the top of the hill, seeing one of his men crawling back. The soldier shouted at his commander, "Don't send any more, its a trap! There's TWO Marines!"
