i was bigtime into paintball the first six to eight years it was around and we did some work with the Sheriff's Department and Village PD... it was kinda fun and i hope everybody learned a thing or two out of it.

that and i've taught quite a few Cornell kids how to shoot paint guns, and later, for the ones who wanted a little more, real guns too.

be polite, be have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

For a really fun time with paintball try forgoing the usual rules of getting out when you are hit for a game of Superman. You never die. You shoot each other until someone can't take it anymore and gives up. Lots of running away. Not for the faint of heart.

be polite, be have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

The complete and accurate phrase is:

"Be polite. Be Professional, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet."

It was the tagline of Squantos who has, regretably, left FreeRepublic.

It is also rule #24 of the USMC Rules of Gun Fighting on the Sniper Country web page.

"be polite, be have a plan to kill everyone you meet."

That was one of Squantos' favorite phrases. It sure isn't the same around FR since he left.
