APAD: Lies in our own hands

"The opportunity to secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself."
- Sun Tzu "孙子兵法"：不可胜在己可胜在敌

I got the "Tactical Hand Signals" below from the same poster as "Bravo Zulu" and found it very interesting and informtive, related somewhat to the phrase by Sun Tzu.  And we all might have used some of these hand signals in life without knowing their military meanings.

Not sure it is the same in the cities you live, but in my middle sized and people friendly city, there seem to be more and more car drivers who are very aggressive when approaching pedestrian crossing, even when the crossing light is on.  So I have developped a hand signal of my own, very similar to the 2nd pic below, to guesture the (bad) drivers to fully stop when I or young ones (when I see them) are crossing the road.  It has been proven very effective so far ;-)

Happy Tuesday to you all!

 

Good to know Sun Tzu and jiu-jitsu agree!

Aggressive drivers saw your signal: come on, rifle ahead:-))

haha, the signals do look alike now U said it. ;-)

嗯，不败掌握在自己手中，胜利来自敌方破绽。想起一个美军二战老兵讲述欧洲战场一场战役，当时他们想清除一个德军阵地

但又不想暴露自己。领队说了一声bayonet! 没找到这个信号，看到两个霰弹枪

U r right, the2ndShotgun is likely 4 bayonet. GoodCatch,Thx!

have sent correction msg to the poster ;-). Thx again!

I was joking, I doubt there ever were bayonet signal

hahaha, butThereShouldNever b 2 shotgunSignals:llive or die

有些还挺有用的。

German didn't have bayonet,but shapper shovel as tool&weapon

hmm, but wikipedia says they do? see:

是的，但很庆幸我们没有/不用参加战争，war太残酷了！！！
