    The same thing kids do to all inattentive soldiers the world over, digging through his kit looking for treasures.

    Also he should do something about those boot laces before someone starts hooking up and rappelling off of them.

    My grandmother gave us her '59 Belvedere. It had the Hydromatic with push-buttons to the left of the steering wheel. What a tank.

    My father was telling me about how in the 90s they used to practice deploying Arty at a local school in town. He said the biggest issue was kids coming up and stealing the berets off his soldiers heads. Ultimately that ended up being the reason they stopped deploying there, as you can't really do anything to the kids to prevent them from taking there berets!
