    Humphreys, being in the military does not make one a better person but thank you for your support anyways

    I wear a rack over my IBA with three 3-mag pouches on each side, plus some other pouches. ill post a picture of a sample




    Mind you, this is not a combat load, this is just a "hey look at me standing around" picture. On a combat patrol, side plates, shoulder plates, and a crotch plate would be added, as well as helmet, assault pack, radio, leg drop pouch, etc. we use M-4s these days, but even an M-4 with flashlight, laser sight, ACOG, pistol grip, extra magazine, etc, can be pretty heavy.

    And, as an aside, no I do not support policy in Iraq if thats what youre asking. Afghanistan is a different matter entirely, but Im skeptical about it as well. Popular insurgencies cannot be won with military force unless one is willing to use extreme tactics, like the Romans.
