In all that heat, too. And there's the emotional weight of knowing that every step might be your last.

God bless and keep our troops.

Chronic back pain will be the number one physical malady of veterans of this era...I had a workmate who is a veteran...former sergeant who has it.

207 Pounds?  No, I'm sorry.  Nobody carries a 207 pound pack, nobody.  Not soldiers, not drug mules, not Sherpa in the Himalayas.  Nobody.
