Never ever learn...
This really annoys me. It's as if the corporate memory of every army ever involved in combat operations from the last 60 years, has just evaporated.
The question not being asked is why, when everyone knows how to lighten the load, are they not doing it? Sure, it involves running risk. Risk is inherent to the job.

- The job of the British Army out here is to kill or capture Communist Terrorists in Malaya.
- If we can double the ratio of kills per contact, we will soon put an end to the shooting in Malaya.
