That's pretty cool. Now all you need is a mule to pull it around. We may have horse (mule) pies in the GA Rally pasture after all!

You realize, of course, that the 19 year old E4 at Ft Benning right now says that same thing when he looks at Vietnam era stuff...

I know Chief...but at least in the Vietnam Era we had stuff RESEMBLING MV's and they were actually pretty darn good:shock:

You're right though, when we show our WWII, Korea and Vietnam Era stuff the young soldiers look at us with sort of...well...pity??

Just think of what that cart has seen... aside from the business end of a mule...

The horrors.

****, imagine what a LOT of the MVs we proudly own could've seen-figuratively of course. I always think of that stuff. The woman thinks I'm dumb when it makes me so proud to have an M1008. She thinks its just a dumb ugly truck.

Geez, a mule cart. People were made tougher back then, that's for sure.

When I was in Germany I went to a lot of sites that still had fighting emplacements and in a few locations you could still see battle damage. I would look at them and wonder how it was there when WWII was going on.

The Kaserne I was stationed at had several underground levels that had been sealed off. One summer when the water table was real low we torched the bolts on the door to one of them.

There were still trucks and other equipment down there, very deteriorated but still recognizable.

It's amazing how much stuff is still laying around waiting to be discovered.
