all this is nice if you have a full compliment of people. My first platoon had 8 people in it counting myself.

Sounds like some Vietnam era bullshit. Companies with 60-70 dudes, etc, less than a modern plussed up Ranger reinforced platoon/strike force with all its attachments.

Cool to see Jav teams. Didn’t have those in our Weapons Squad. Just 240s and 249s
