When I was a young PFC in the 82d (this is late seventies), I was in my
battalion's scout platoon. We had jeeps with machineguns on them. After
the
intial paraachute assault we usually found ourselves involved in about
48 hours
of virtually non stop operations. And we were given little black pills
to keep us
going. You had to be careful with them though as I saw them wreck a few
lieutennants, who never knew when te little black pills weren't gonna
help you
any longer....
