Right down to the Tracks. When you look at Soldiers riding in Viet Nam, they are riding on top of the track. The damned things were mine traps and fire traps. An RPG would eat through the side armor like it wasn’t there.

I remember the order coming down during Lam Sahn 719 for

tankers to be inside the tanks.Those rpg’s would do a number

On ‘em.Saw many with the top of the hull flapping when they

were being retreived

They also ordered everyone to wear flak jackets and pots
