The best gear out there, Eagle Industries:

The Kerry campaign seems to be attempting to use this as evidence Bush is shortchanging the military, which is nonsense of course;
It has been going on long before this administration, and the primary cause is the convoluted, complex, and impossibly long military procurement cycle, which really has been a problem for the entire history of this country.

The army and marine unit commanders did not go along with all this “non-standard” stuff, and having their favorite gear “banned” was another of those uncertainties an infantryman had to worry about when he got a new commanding officer. God I used to hate that....

I remember taking just about the entire issue of TA-50 and throwing it in a wall locker to be used only at inspections. Most of the equipment I actually took to the field was privately purchased.

I hated the helmet liner, cold weather, and wore a gray knit cap under my steel pot instead. What a ration of **** I got for wearing that cap. Wore it all winter, though. Just another nail in the coffin of my military career.

What gear did
you take?
Just about all my privately owned stuff was cold weather gear to wear under issue stuff.

And I felt my RVN experience wouldn't be complete unless I could sip a martini while ranging in the artillery for the evening ...
