Small Wonder: Decade after decade, a Milwaukee-made can opener served generations of soldiers. by dick dickinson for Milwaukee insider magazine FROM AL SPURLOCK One Texas Soldier (U.S. Army Soldiers, Marines from Embedded Training Team 1-12th, Afghan National Army soldiers, and civilian reporter Elliot Woods, right, sit down and eat, at an overnight observation post, during a 2-day mission, in Depak Valley, at Wardak province, Afghanistan, Oct. 30, 2009. [U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Teddy Wade/Released] Date Posted: 11/6/2009 at cryptome.org  A large group of Taliban soldiers are moving down a road when they hear a voice call from behind a sand-dune. "One Texas 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 Texan is better than one hundred Taliban". Furious, the Taliban commander sends his next best 100 troops over the dune and instantly a huge gunfight commences. After 10 minutes of battle, again silence. The Texan voice calls out again "One Texan is better than one thousand Taliban". The enraged Taliban Commander musters one thousand fighters and sends them across the dune. Cannon, rocket and machine gun fire 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 commander, "Don't send any more men, its a trap. There's actually two of them."
