A young officer was teaching some old soldiers. They had been in the army for many years and did not like officers, young or old.
They did not think this young officer could tell them anything about how to fight in a war.
Private Jones was nearly sixty years old and had fought in many wars. He had a row of medals on his chest.
“Imagine you are in a battle,” the young officer said to him. “You see seven hundred enemy soldiers ing towards you. What do you do?”
Private Jones thought for a few moments, and then he said, “I shoot them all with my rifle.”
“Now imagine there are seven hundred enemy soldiers ing towards you from the left,” the young officer said, “and seven hundred enemy soldiers ing to you from the right. What do you do?”
“I shoot them with my rifle,” Private Jones answered.
“OK,” the young officer went on, trying to get the answer he wanted, “but what if there are a thousand enemy soldiers ing at you from the right, a thousand ing at you from the left, and another thousand ing straight towards you. What do you do now?”
“I shoot them with my rifle,” Private Jones replied.
“But where are you getting all the bullets from?” the young officer demanded.
Private Jones smiled. “From the same place you are getting all those enemy soldiers.”
