That B-2 unit box looks like four c-rat cans? How many of those would an infantryman hump in a ruck? Weight had to add up fast.

Usually 1 to 4 depending on the mission.

I like the genuine Chieu Hoi mag bags!

The bag was designed to hold one 20-round M16 magazine and to protect it from the elements. A built-in metal strip allows the bag to be sealed well. The bag was also designed to be thrown away after the magazine was removed, then to be picked up and read by an enemy combatant. The combatant could then use the bag as a "get home safely pass" when presented to Allied Forces. The bags were only one small part of the Chieu Hoi program, which eventually resulted in an estimated 100,000 desertions from the Viet Cong and NVA.

The full translation reads: Returning Chieu Hoi will help you to again see your parents and family in a peaceful and democratic South Vietnam.
