Lmao Padraic that is funny as hell!! I can't lie I had many good times in the military. I was an infantry rifleman and I carried an M16 A2 with and M203 grenade launcher most of the time. Depending on the exercise sometimes they preferred to use me as a machine gunner so I have had to haul the M60 or the SAW (squad automatic weapon). One thing is true about Hollywood depictions of war in most cases, you have to check your common sense at the door and just enjoy the action.
There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
