"You know the home team always has the home field advantage".......

That "home team" blade can cut both ways..
We were NEVER reluctant to burn or bring down everything in the way to get to a target..
I would be more reluctant to burn my own neighborhood to get to a single target...

All things considered....I would rather fight in their back yard.... Not mine...

But if they do bring it to us --- it's going to be bad.. Very bad....for everyone involved.

You are right of course. I was only referring to the load bearing demands on soldiers.

The local boys can run around with three magazines in their pockets and run circles around grunts with 80# loads.
