What are the disadvantage of digital camera?
The early models seemed to use more electricity than General Motors and they ought to have been supplied with bandoleers for holding the spare AA cells. Typically 1.6 amps at six volts would be needed and AAs don't last long under that current drain. In actual fact "basic" budget quality cells could barely get the camera to boot Modern cameras seem to be less greedy on the current but beware of cameras with custom batteries that cannot be recharged in the field. In Arctic weather film is probably more reliable if one has a clockwork camera. (the problem is that batteries do not like the cold)
What does army gear consist of?
Like in Real Estate it depends on the location, the time and the place. It will always include a weapon, ammunition, rations and water, First Aid Kit, some form of shelter, and the harness and packaging to tote it, like canteen, haversack, knapsack, and bandoleers. Add whatever else is required: communications, grenades, LAW, compass, optical devices, flashlight, Tobasco sauce, bug spray, and never ever forget your bayonet and spare socks, and extra ammo. Those are the basics, different wars will mandate different tools.
Vietnam Issue Bandolier 100 Round for 7.62 mm linked Ammo?
During the Vietnam War, "sixty cans" (M60 machine gun ammunition cans) came 200 rds per can; in two bandoleers, each one hundred round bandoleer was in a OD colored cloth bag which had OD cloth handles. The cloth bags were always discarded (quickly). "Sixty cans" were easily identified, as they were narrow, not wide metal cans, like the .50 caliber ammo cans (called "fifty cans"). Each 5th round was a tracer, same with the fifty ammo. Tracers were painted with orange tips on the bullets (they might have been meant to be red, but they appeared to be orange in color).
Although the work is supposedly about Vietnam the final story focuses not on the war but on an episode from O'Brien's childhood How does this story relate to the stories of war.The Things They Carried?
1. The era in which the episode of O'Brien's life would determine what war he was involved with. If his life occurs in 1812, it obviously won't be about the US Civil War; if it occurs in 1917, it won't be about World War Two. 2. What a fighting man carried during those times, would be learned from looking at those particular websites or books. Example: Fighting men in the US Civil War carried paper cartridges in leather pouches. With percussion caps in another container; or powder in another; balls (bullets) in another. Then, most men learned to combine together by making "paper cartridges". Complete paper cartridges could be carried in the aforementioned leather pouches. US fighting men in Vietnam carried M16 rifle bandoleers; each bandoleer contained 7 cloth pouches, which held one 20 round magazine. The majority of GI's only loaded 18 rounds into the magazine so as to keep the magazine spring from becoming overly depressed...and loosing it's "springing action" if held in that position for too long.

What are disadvantages of Digital camera?
In terms of quality, the difference has been decreasing rapidly. I would say oneadvantage is there is no negative. Some years from now your images should not have any color fading, dust, scratches or other marks.One major disadvantage is there is no negative. So write protect your original files and make multiple backups using DVD's or different drives, and if possible, different locations to store them. Nothing is worse than suddenly getting the dreaded "disk does not appear to be formatted" error regarding the drive that until yesterday contained your entire collection of images from once-in-a-lifetime events which you spent a great many hours editing.
What did the tactic of search and destroy operations used by Australian troops in Vietnam involve?
US Forces searched to destroy the enemy, but in large numbers (Battalion size-600 men or Brigade, two or more Battalions), and with massive military hardware...ranging from the battleship USS New Jersey (armed with strictly guns-16", 5", etc.), B-52 Stratofortress Bombers, M-48 Patton Tanks, M-551 Sheridan Tanks, M-113 ACAV's (Armored Cavalry Assault Vehicles), and artillery (175mm, 8", 155mm, 105mm), tactical jet fighter bombers, and numerous attack helicopters and fixed wing Gunships (AC-130 Spectres, etc). Australian Infantrymen went into the bush in company, platoon, squad levels (Roughly: 100, 40, 12 men); WITHOUT the above listed US military hardware. Some Australian Centurian tanks (50 ton, 84mm gun, 4 crewmen) & M-113 ACAV's might go with them in support. But Australia only had about 58 Centurians in country, the US had nearly 400 Pattons (counting the US Marines, US Armor Battalions, and US Cavalry). The Australians fought stealth with stealth (fought fire with fire); the US fought with over whelming firepower. Australians might make every bullet count (generally speaking), whereas US Infantrymen "sprayed and prayed", emptying two or three bandoleers of M-16 ammo in a 15 to 20 minute firefight. That's 18 rounds (we used 18, 20 was too hard on the magazine spring, and caused jams) per magazine, 7 magazines per bandoleer. Twenty one magazines fired per man in 15 to 20 minutes, often, with no body count to show for it. Australians "might" consume less ammo, and have some enemy bodies to show for their efforts. The 21st Century US Army, has REMOVED the "rock 'n roll" fire capability (full automatic) from the standard issue Infantrymen's rifle. Research after the Vietnam War showed we really did waste alot of ammo.
How many pounds does a foot soldier have to carry according to rank and body build?
During the Vietnam War, men were drafted. The Long, the tall, and the short; it didn't matter how he was built; skinny or all muscle, once he reached the field with his outfit, he did what he was told. And it was peer pressure more than anything else that made him do his duty, well. Normally, in a "leg outfit" (straight infantrymen...no Armored Personnel Carriers, no Tank, no Artillery...just boot leather), the NEW MAN got to hump the 21 pound M-60 machinegun with about 300 rounds of .308 ammunition (7.62mm). If it was a patrol of only 1 or 2 days in the "bush" (field) then he carried gun, ammo, 1 or 2 frags (hand grenades), 2 or 3 canteens (one or two quart), maybe a claymore (anti-personnel mine), maybe two or three "C" ration meals, steel pot (M-1 helmet), and a pouncho liner to sleep with at night. ALL RIFLEMEN carried an extra belt of machinegun ammo wrapped across their chest, for the machinegunner. So twelve grunts gave the sixty gunner a total of about 1,500 rounds to fire. Riflemen carried between 3 to 5 bandoleers; each bandoleer had seven pouches for seven M-16 rifle magazines (20 rounders). Each magazine was "normally" loaded with only 18 rounds of .223 (5.56mm) ammo; this was to prevent the magazine spring from becoming stuck from excessive depression time, which could result in a failure to feed (a jammed rifle). If a firefight was going fast and furious, then it was OK to load a full 20 rounds into the magazine, because you were going to fire them out within seconds anyway...and the magazine spring works just fine if it's only going to be in the depressed (compressed) position for only seconds or minutes. But if those magazines were left loaded with a full 20 rounds for months, then they'll probably jam when you attempt to fire the weapon; the spring won't function as a spring anymore and won't feed the ammo into the breech of the rifle.

What does a front line troop in world war 2 carry with them on duty?
The US Army sent men into combat loaded down with 70 pounds or more of gear. Those who survived their first contact with the enemy lumbering around like clumsy pack mules soon figured out that to stay alive they would have to ditch almost all of this otherwise useful gear. They kept their rifle and their cartridge belt for ammunition, and often had bandoleers with extra clips for the M-1. (The cleaning kit for the M-1 was housed inside the stock, in front of the butt plate, and the only tool needed to disassemble the rifle was the point of a rifle cartridge.) Most men carried 200 rounds - 25 8 round clips, to start the day. Often a fragmentation grenade or two. The first aid kit, and their entrenching tool. Some kept an extra pair of socks. They usually ditched all other clothing, including their overcoat, but kept the raincoat and cut it short, to waist length. They also kept their canteen, which included a cup. All the gear they dumped was picked up by the quartermasters, and kept for eventual use, when they went into camp when off the line. Each man had been issued a "shelter half", which was half a pup tent. You were supposed to get together with a buddy and make a tent. The main use the shelter halves wound up providing was to bury the dead in. At the end of the day you used your entrenching tool to dig a hole to spend the night in. If you were lucky hot food was brought up to the line; if not, cold C rations or K rations might be. Toilet paper and 4-packs of cigarettes and a book of matches were included in the rations. Ammunition was brought up each each night, to provide each man with 200 rounds. Some men had wristwatches, which were very useful. Some kept pocket bibles. Some kept a pencil, or the stub of a candle. Only what could be carried in the pockets. It was a cold, miserable, hungry and exhausted existence, because you never got enough sleep or food, you had no warm clothes, you were living in holes in the ground exposed to the elements and the winter of 1944-45 was the coldest in one hundred years in Europe. You were absolutely terrified every second you were on the line, and one of the best armies the world has ever seen was doing its best to kill you.
