"One Texas soldier is better than ten Iraqi"

[OzKaNoz]

A large group of Iraqi soldiers are moving down a
road when they hear a voice call from behind a sand
dune: "One Texas soldier is better than ten Iraqi".

The Iraqi commander quickly orders 10 of his best men
over the dune whereupon a gun-battle breaks out and
continues for a few minutes, then silence.

The voice once again calls out: "One Texan is better
than one hundred Iraqi."

Furious, the Iraqi commander sends his next best 100
troops over the dune and instantly a huge gun fight
commences. After 10 minutes of battle, again silence.

The Texan voice calls out again: "One Texan is better
than one thousand Iraqi."

The enraged Iraqi commander musters 1000 fighters and
sends them to the other side of the dune. Rifle fire,
machine guns, grenades, rockets and cannon fire ring
out as a terrible battle is fought....Then silence.

Eventually one badly 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."

And one UK soldier is worth ten Texas soldiers.

At least in BS

The fighting spirit of Americans cannot be denied. The commanding General of the 101st Airborne, when surrounded by German forces at the battle of Bastone (spelling) gave a one word answer when asked by the Germans to surrender or be destroyed, "Nuts". The word among the troopers of the 101st was "They have us surrounded. Yeah, I feel sorry for the poor bastards."
