Don't take it as gospel, there are numerous roles, operational considerations, equipment available, individual preferences, duration of operation, and much more that go into consideration when you're setting up your gear for a mission or operation. There is no such thing as a one size fits all setup, the things you would take on a raid are not the same things you would take on a long distance reconnaissance mission. Hope this helps cut through some shortcomings and paints a better picture to just how in depth you have to think and trained your service members really are.

😂 I saw how the marines rolled in Afghanistan. …. No food or water … low ammo … used M16’s …. Old humvees …. Old helmets … always asking everyone else for gear & ammo & food …. The marines don’t even get to pick their jobs & get no signing bonus & have to pay for their leave travel & uniforms … not to mention the guaranteed problems getting back into society after being indoctrinated into a savage despite many just being non deployed pogs
chest seals are important for combat guys. if you get a perferated lung its called "a sucking chest wound" for a reason. need a barrier to stop sucking in air that isnt filtered, and properly oxygenated through normal pathways into the airsacks of your lungs, so the hole is patched, but you dont want more co2 than u should have or fluid in yor lungs so you dont drown or pass out on your own lungs from a shot. so there are bandages and then there ar e chest wound bandages, which allow fluid and some air out but prevent dirty air from going in.

Why didn’t they show FMF a Marine, instead of some officer from OCS school with a basic ass loadout? Head over to the FMF 1st Marine division, and see the loadouts completely different.
