"One U. S. Army Special Forces soldier is better than ten Taliban." The Taliban commander quickly sends 10 of his best soldiers over the dune, whereupon a gun battle breaks out and continues for a few minutes....then silence. The voice then calls out "One U. S. Army Special Forces soldier is better than fifty Taliban." Furious, the Taliban commander sends his next best 50 troops over the dune and instantly a huge gunfight commences. After 10 minutes of battle, again silence. The American voice calls out again "One U. S. Special Forces soldier is better than one hundred Taliban." The enraged Taliban Commander musters one hundred of his best fighters and sends then across the dune. Gunfire, grenades, machine gun fire, rockets,etc ring out as a huge battle is fought. Then silence! Eventually one wounded Taliban fighter crawls back over the dune and with his dying words tells his Taliban Commander, "Don't send any more men -- it's a trap. There's two of them!"
