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!
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.
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'?
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
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.
I wonder this, what condition like if WWII German Tiger tank fighting in snow field, versus Russian T-34.
