More smoke too.

But at least it won’t “explode.”

Which leaves only 3-4 obvious ways to catch hell in it.

On the other hand back when I was in, we did not have Kevlar anything, no GPS, no NV to speak of... Gen 3 had not been invented yet.

It was ruck up, move out, press on.

I guess I’m from the Old Army, where massive or at least adequate cover was standard. These boutique forces today would never stand up against a Soviet or Red Chinese juggernaut of old for five minutes. I guess we’ll continue to see this kind of $h!t while we’re in asymmetric warfare.
