A good soldier must learn to plunder his surrounding. Everywhere where humans live. There are food and water. No need to carry that crap beside maybe on mountain missions. But also mountain missions are nonsense in the age of armed drones.
Just develop cost effective drones. Sensors to fool the cave monkeys.
The kurdish apes will not know what hit them. Russia looks at them as brown people, we despise brown people. We only care for mother russia. If turks buy our weapons and give us hard western cash we will hand over brownish kurd monkeys to you on silver plate.
