a couple of bandoliers, a couple of frags, a couple cans of ham n' limas, 4-5 canteens, a towel around the neck, a quick prayer for fast delivery of napalm or arty if we got hit bad, stick the boots (new guys) with the m-60 belts and you're good to go for a days worth of humping. What are they carrying all that #### around for when they are only a couple of clicks from base camp and have a guarantee of gunships to suppress anything real heavy duty?
