You noticed that the last sentance agreed with you all along?*-Kinda makes your rage-post look a bit spastic.*It isn't sending soldiers *back* to retrieve missing kit, it's to grab anything and everything useful for the mission (namely, ammo, mags, belts, better weapons, anything that counts as a "force-multiplier" [which they pretty much did, meaning the survivoring (ten?) soldiers are likely lugging their own personal radios and GPS by now, and still retaining their full platoon's allotment of machine-guns and C-mags]) before they GTFO of the killzone. The entire 'bug-out bag' principle.And like a bug-out bag, it's more a list of priorities of things you want to keep with you. You can usually survive without it, maybe even get a replacement, but the loss of a man sucks a big one, loss of a man and all his shit is a pretty catastophic loss in some cases. As I said, shit sometimes REALLY gets that bad, in which the grunts have to pray for a quick resupply/evac, .

Maybe Because they're the fucking MILITARY?! They have guns! They won't worryAbout some small arms a friggn' CQB rifle and a battle rifle. EVEN IF IT'S AGAINST THE RULE BOOK! They won't use the same rules agains't the walking dead. Do you know how much would they weight? Soilders should not be encumbered, especialy when they could get outran by enemy they can't even hit in the head *ahem* walking dead*ahem*

Same.Also: Koko:I'm pretty sure Shelton will agree that the situation had to get for proffessional military personel to leave live arms and ammunition behind, especially considering they'll need quite a bit of it to do thier job.Even when traveling by car, every critical thing is in a rucksack for easy transfer to a fresh vehicle even if half the crew is killed outright.Averted, in that the situation is pretty terribad, and even then they pretty much took all the worthwhile supplies (seriously, who cares about lugging a pistol when you've got assault-rifles and LSWs?).
