and you wrote your name on one of your own, and kept it in your pocket, could you still get killed?

I just relied on the fact that Iraqis couldn't shoot worth a damn.

If a bullet hit you in the pocket, striking the other bullet, I guess its kinda like "oh ****" time. Moral of story: dont put a bullet in your pocket and go into battle.

If you keep the bullet in your pocket, it just means you won't shoot yourself with it.
The concept you refer to is simply a matter of expressing the fatalism required of those going to war - death strikes with no rhyme or reason - either it finds you, or it doesn't.

Sounds like a scene from Blackadder to me:
Baldrick: "I thought that if I owned the bullet with my name on it, then I wouldn't get shot, as I would be very unlikely to shoot myself."
Blackadder: "Oh, shame!"

If that was the case then the Americans would manufacture all their bullets with Osama or Ahmed or Ali on them!

You better believe you can still get killed. Your statement is just a figure of speech.

Yes, of course that's true. That's why there are so few casualties in war. Silly boy.
