    That's an easy one but will not say the full name unless someone else knows it, CSA. Not what you normally relate to that abbreviation.

    Not so sure he thought we needed saving, but sure did think we were ignorant and needed a wheelbarrow to haul our stuff.

    He didn't care if we got saved or not. Just looking to spread the rubbish as far and wide as he could. (Still a credible guess.)

    What rules of debate are often referenced on SM when discussion gets a little heated

    Is it these rules?! ;)

    Murphy’s Rules of Combat

    · Friendly fire – isn’t.

    · Recoilless rifles – aren’t.

    · Suppressive fires – won’t.

    · You are not Superman; Marines and fighter pilots take note. (I disagree, OORah!)

    · A sucking chest wound is Nature’s way of telling you to slow down.

    · If it’s stupid but it works, it isn’t stupid.

    · Try to look unimportant; the enemy may be low on ammo and not want to waste a bullet on you.

    · If at first you don’t succeed, call in an air strike.

    · The enemy attacks on two occasions: when he’s ready and when you’re not

    · If you are forward of your position, your artillery will fall short

    · All 5 second grenade fuses burn down in 3 seconds

    · Never share a foxhole with anyone braver than yourself.

    · Never forget that your weapon was made by the lowest bidder.

    · If your attack is going really well, it’s an ambush.

    · The enemy diversion you’re ignoring is their main attack.

    · No plan ever survives initial contact.

    · There is no such thing as a perfect plan.

    · A retreating enemy is probably just falling back and regrouping.

    · The important things are always simple; the simple are always hard.

    · The easy way is always mined.

    · Teamwork is essential; it gives the enemy other people to shoot at.

    · Don’t look conspicuous; it draws fire. For this reason, it is not at all uncommon for aircraft carriers to be known as bomb magnets.

    · Never draw fire; it irritates everyone around you.

    · If you are short of everything but the enemy, you are in the combat zone.

    · When you have secured the area, make sure the enemy knows it too.

    · Incoming fire has the right of way.

    · No combat ready unit has ever passed inspection.

    · No inspection ready unit has ever passed combat.

    · If the enemy is within range, so are you.

    · The only thing more accurate than incoming enemy fire is incoming friendly fire.

    · Things which must be shipped together as a set, aren’t.

    · Things that must work together, can’t be carried to the field that way.

    · Radios will fail as soon as you need fire support.

    · Radar tends to fail at night and in bad weather, and especially during both.

    · Anything you do can get you killed, including nothing.

    · Make it too tough for the enemy to get in, and you won’t be able to get out.

    · Tracers work both ways.

    · If you take more than your fair share of objectives, you will get more than your fair share of objectives to take.

    · When both sides are convinced they’re about to lose, they’re both right.

    · Professional soldiers are predictable; the world is full of dangerous amateurs.

    · Military Intelligence is a contradiction.

    · Fortify your front; you’ll get your rear shot up.

    · Weather ain’t neutral.

    · If you can’t remember, the Claymore is pointed towards you.

    · Air defense motto: shoot’em down; sort’em out on the ground. ‘Flies high, it’ll die; low and slow, it’ll go.

    · The Cavalry doesn’t always come to the rescue.

    · Napalm is an area support weapon.

    · Mines are equal opportunity weapons.

    · B-52s are the ultimate close support weapon.

    · Sniper’s motto: reach out and touch someone.

    · The one item you need is always in short supply.

    · Interchangeable parts aren’t.

    · It’s not the one with your name on it; it’s the one addressed “to whom it may concern” you’ve got to think about.

    · When in doubt, empty your magazine.

    · The side with the simplest uniforms wins.

    · Combat will occur on the ground between two adjoining maps.

    · If you can keep your head while those around you are losing theirs, you may have misjudged the situation.

    · If two things are required to make something work, they will never be shipped together.

    · Whenever you lose contact with the enemy, look behind you.

    · The most dangerous thing in the combat zone is an officer with a map.

    · The quartermaster has only two sizes, too large and too small. If you really need an officer in a hurry, take a nap.

    · There is nothing more satisfying than having someone take a shot at you, and miss.

    · If your sergeant can see you, so can the enemy.

    · You’ll only remember your hand grenades when the sound is too close to use them.

    · Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

    · Well .. It could be worse: It could be raining .. and we could be out in it. So he said, “Cheer up: it could be worse!” So we cheered up. And it got worse.

    · The spare batteries for whatever your troops have been carrying are either nearly dead or for the wrong radio.

    · The ping you heard was the antenna snapping off at 6 inches above the flex mount, while a fire mission was being called in on a battalion of hostiles who know your position.

    · Why is it the CO sticks his head in your radio hooch to see if anything has come down from DIV when you are listening to the VOA broadcasting the baseball games?

    · How come you are on one frequency when everyone else is on another?

    · Why does your 500-watt VRC-26 (real old) not make it across 200 miles while a ham with 50 watts on the same MARS frequency can be heard from Stateside?

    · Know why short RTOs have long whips on their radios? So someone can find them when they step in deep water.

    · The enemy “Always” times his attack to the second you drop your pant’s in the Latrine!!

    · The ammo you need NOW is on the NEXT airdrop!!

    · Field experience is something you don’t get until just after you need it.

    · If your ambush is properly set the enemy won’t walk into it.

    Or maybe Robert's Rules. Not cited often enough, but honored whenever possible.
