A large group of Taliban soldiers are moving down a road when they hear a voice call from behind a sand-dune.  “One Marine is better than ten Taliban”. The Taliban commander quickly sends 10 of his best soldiers over the dune where upon a gun-battle breaks out and continues for a few minutes, then silence.

The voice then calls out “One Marine is better than a hundred Taliban soldiers”. Furious, the Taliban
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 Marine voice calls out, “One Marine is better than one thousand Taliban”. The enraged Taliban commander musters a thousand fighters and sends them over the dune. Cannon, rocket, and machine gun fire rings out as a huge battle is fought. Then silence.

Finally one wounded Taliban 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”.
