Ahhh, the M151 Mutt. Shame it had such bad suspension and that it wasn't a jeep.

Without the whole war bit, hooning around the jungles of Vietnam in one of those jeeps is my idea of a good time

ooo.. Gen 2 Jeep, aka deathtrap. They had a design flaw at high-speed over bumps. Fully independent suspension would drop and cause rolling.

2). He knew any other unit would have trouble getting a replacement. Except for one particular jeep, the commanding general’s jeep.

3). General has to ride, and the system will come through for him. Late one night the CG’s jeep mysteriously ends up in our unit’s area.

4). The scrounger spent the night ‘modifying the complexion’ of the jeep. Strategic dents, patches riveted on, thinned out paint,

to look sun faded, with spot paint in other shades on a couple of spots. Roughed up edges. Seats traded with a worn jeep from another unit.

MPs didn’t give that ratty looking (but mechanically perfect) jeep a second glance.

I wore my jungle boots for years after I got back... I flew a desk for the AF, never carried a firearm, didn't stop them from shooting at me
