THIS IS MY RIFLE.
There are many like it, but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. My rifle, without me is useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will...

My rifle and myself know that counts in war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit...

My rifle is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weakness, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights, and its barrel. I will never guard it against the ravages of weather and damage. I will keep my rifle clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part each other. We will...

Before God I swear this creed, My rifle and myself are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life. So be it, until there is no enemy, but Peace!

The Creed of the United States Marines Corps era Vietnam war about their rifle, M14.

They usually say that creed before sleeping. Their rifler is their human, and must love it better than their wife.

I'm not too fond of idea of marines. At the moment they lose sight of coast they become normal infantry.

During servise we used to joke with something like that but much shorter: Rifle is wife, KES is regular lay, APILAS is secret lover and Musti is milf.

For those who do not know these are the weapons we ment: [link] [link] [link] and [link]

God loves Infantry(Note that doesn't mean marines or tankmen) but Devil protects Anti-Tank soldiers.

Oh my God, sorry for hear that.
Ah, I think all of world armies do that honor to their weapon, but the most popular is USMC Creed. Indonesian army too: "Your weapon is your friend and vital for you (Senjata adalah segala-galanya bagimu).

Ah, question. What do you mean with 'devil protects anti-tank soldier'?

they say that gods love infantry. Well other units kept joking that AT soldiers are crazy or even insane because we aim to meet tanks where as any other infantry unit hopes to not meet them, which led us to joke back that even though gods love all infantry the devils give us the extra protection, which makes us near invinsible.

U.S marines were called by german troops as devils dogs during WW1, so using devil is no new thing.

There was also other ways to joke Pioneers and riflemen kept joking to Anti-Tank and grenadiers that we compensate with the sixe of uor main weapons, we answered that it is because our stuff doesn't fit in rifles as their do, which is why we need bigger weapons. Ahh good times you were alloved to kick ass pioners, grenadiers and riflemen if they weren't on your side during combat practises :D

Oh! I understand. Yes, that's AT soldiers life. "They really like enemies like armoured vehicles" said one Indonesian officer about Yonif 332 'Tank Raider', one of Indonesian AT soldiers. God with Devil, very good phrase.

Oh yes. Because, US Marine is the most aggressive soldiers in WWI and they use shotgun (Remington M1897) weapon, the most feared and the most effective trench gun another SMG (MP18 and OVP).

Oh yes. AT soldiers can give heavy support firepower. So, Finnish soldier has same concept with Indonesian soldier. When the infantrymen move away, they are covered by tank fire and artillery and mortars too, And, each one person in 2 group bring RPG to give continuous fire powers. So, our AT soldiers os one of the vital part too.

Well the american unit in norther russian during the 1917 winter did not do so well against the soviet fighters, mostly because they had no idea that it would be so cold.

'The hell of winter war' they called. Yeah, Napoleon troops and German troops also lose with Soviet because of brutal cold temperature.

General Winter is good ally but also a deadly enemy.

Good for Russia, and for their enemies. The tragic like Stalingrad and Kaukassus in WWII. The latest operation who destroyed by General Winter is WWII Operation Barbarossa.

I wonder this, what condition like if WWII German Tiger tank fighting in snow field, versus Russian T-34.
