We were at our daughter's home in Kansas back in February before her husband deployed. You remember those old photographs of the WWII troops? How they have ONE duffel bag, their web gear and rifle and that's it? Well. These grunts today gotta lug around THREE of those duffels as well as a ruck, their kevlar and their utility vest (whatever it's called) which has replaced the old fashioned web or ALICE gear.All that sh*t took up an entire room! <img src="/images/smilies/new/ooh2.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":ooh2:" title="Ooh2    :ooh2:" data-shortname=":ooh2:" /></blockquote>
