Light and Heavy Infantry

In the modern age, as Owen indicated, and I believe Los alluded to, you
can recognize the light infantry. They are the guys who look like they
are about to disappear under a pack larger than they are. Light
generally means you get to carry your more of your kit because you have
less transport resources and are more self sufficient. It's another
example of military misnomers and oxymorons - Light Infantry, Military
Intelligence, Battle Plan, Friendly Fire, the list goes on and on <and
no this isn't an invite for one of our famous on-list one-upmanship
duels to see who can crank out the latest and greatest such
oxymoron..... *grin*>
