That's no joke. I think in combat school they told us it costs liike
57,000 per unit? They let us peek through them ONCE and it was like
looking through binocs. VERY limited so weearing them has that hazard.
Also, some of the 82nd Airborne guys I talked to said that they aslo
cause excessive eye strain ... wearing them for more than an hour caused
migranes ... Remember, a firefight may only last a few minutes, but the
recon ops can last days.
