You remind me of those "garratroopers" in Viet Nam …

I ran into a high school classmate at Tan Son Nhut airport in Saigon in 1967. He was wearing tiger stripes, boonie hat, M-16, 45 in a shoulder rig and a .38 on his hip. He had at least a hundred rounds on him. I asked what his job was – turned out he was a US Air Force mail clerk and never left the airbase.

Got to guard against those people who go postal, y'know.
