Plainfield Plant Robbed 1967

[eb in oregon]

Jim-- Not really my MTOE weapon was a Beretta M9 pistol. It was a joke. The natives were carrying at a minimum AKs and here I am with my little pop gun. I found a Yugo M70AB2 AK with a folding stock laying in the desert. Cleaned it up. I got extra magazines and some good 7.62x39 ammo from the Special Ops folks. I used that until we got some M16A2 rifles in from states side. I love when armchair commandos write up an MTOE and never been in a hostile environment.

Those would be the same idiots that wrote the MTOE for Cavalry Scouts, believing a TOW missile in heavy forest is better than a MaDeuce or a MK19. We trained for years in heavy forrest using TOWS and would rarely have ever had a shot over 200 meters. Darn good observation device though.
