He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.
Those are two worn-out GI’s
Any ideas on what those shiny things which appear to be blousing the pants for the soldier on the left?
And the en-bloc clips at the ready for the buddy on the right……I haven’t seen that before, what are they attached to?
Thanks Mark in Rochester
A tactic on prominent display in the film "The Big Red One" with Lee Marvin and that Hamil guy. Marvin was a true American, that Hamil guy not so much.Originally Posted by browningautorifle

Thanks I see it now….two straps going over his left shoulder. At first it looked like just one strap to me and that the back of the en-bloc was magically attached to it. I see how the second strap threads through the rounds.Originally Posted by browningautorifle
