What cigs were used in wars?
Lucky Strike was popular during WW2. Pall Mall, Viceroy, Marlboro, Cools, Salem, and Camel were issued by the carton in SUNDRIES PACKS (SP Packs) free once a week to GI's in the field during the Vietnam War. GI's in the base camps had access to PX's. During the Vietnam War, each "C" Ration Meal, one box, contained an "accessary pack." The accessary package was a brown vaccum sealed water proofed aluminum foil type envelope which contained: two pieces of chiclets gum; one toothpick for brushing your teeth; a small packet of salt, pepper, cream, coffee, sugar; a plastic spoon (the toughest plastic spoon you ever saw-virtually indestructable); a very small roll of toilet paper about the size of your thumb; and a minature pack of commercially packaged cigarettes containing about 4 to 5 smokes; usually Pall Malls, Salem or Marlboro. Packs of cigarettes were usually carried in the M-1 steel helmets elastic band, which kept the camoflage helmet cover in place. The cigarettes were safer kept up there, free from getting wet when wading through rivers and swamps, and wouldn't get crushed when a GI "hit the ground" when a fire fight started. "C" rations were CANNED foods. Twelve meals came to a case of "C" rations. 21st Century military personnel are not issued cigarettes, and consume MRE's (Meals Ready to Eat), which are freeze dried type foods and do not come in cans.
What did soldiers in Vietnam do to pass the time when they were not fighting?
Civilians and peace time military personnel can set up a daily routine. In the "traditional wars" from Vietnam back; in which there were NO cell phones, computers, GPS systems, mini-TV's, equal opportunity employment, environmental bullets, advanced safety military protection gear (face shields, knee pads, night vision goggles attached to the protective headqear), etc. etc. GI's in the Vietnam War, had to do pretty much what his forefathers did in the Korean War, WWII, WWI, Spanish-American War of 1898, the US Frontier Wars, the US Civil War, etc. And that was (for the men in the field): Sleep when ever possible, because there was NO daily routine. Shooting or explosions could come at any time, from any direction. Or "movement". If anyone saw or heard any "movement", action could commence at any split second. Sleep (or rest) was always wanted. Food and drink, was a constant, especially food. The army only supplied "C" rations in the field (canned food) could be heated (we found other sources to cook our food), army issued "heat tablets" took to long, wouldn't light using a cigarette, and put out eye burning fumes when used in a bunker or inside an armored vehicle. "C" rations had to be eaten COLD at night time because of "night discipline"...lights get shot at during the night, and worse they could draw mortar fire. Then your buddies will be very upset with the GI who showed the light. Other than sleeping, eating, a cold beer (or soda) was excellent entertainment. Cigarettes were part of life. Inside of each "C" ration meal was factory Marlboro, Salem, Pall Malls, Camel cigarettes. SP (Sundries Paks) came Viceroy, Pall Malls, Marlboro, Salem, by the carton! Reading paperback books, and playing cards was common (Gambling). Fishing in rivers was popular, some GI's hunted deer and other small game (no fishing/hunting license REQUIRED!).
