A smart kid today with five dollars at radio shack can be a real pain for an IED team be they just wannabe few week wonders hazardous devices LEO’s / FLEA’s or real Military EOD who earned their crab.

A real dumb one with an M26 frag and a couple of rubber bands can be just as much of a pain, and *they* had a lot more disposable kids than we did M151 Jeeps and Deuce-and-a-halfs.

Yep....gas was hell on those rubber bands and electrical tape. We welded up our tank fill necks with smaller truck types so such was not a real hazard as it was in your day.
