I never knew that humus meant anything more then organic material so the “change in the science” meant little to me. But I thought this was an interesting insight into how the “science” is formed and then overthrown.

The goal this time was to test my belt fire kit and to see how long it would take me to get one liter of water to a rolling boil. Both things were tested with the creation of one fire but I am going to split out the discussion of the belt kit into its own section I don’t want the review of the Wazoo gear to get lost in the middle of the discussion of building the fire (which is where the discussion would naturally fall if I was strictly chronological).
For those who read, this will be nothing new. But those who don’t like to read should watch this.

Every so often (since at least the 1970s) people start talking about how the tank is no longer useful because of how deadly shoulder fired rockets have become. The below shows how much effort it takes for a relatively well equipped group of light infantry to destroy one single Russian infantry fighting vehicle (not even a real tank).
You can see why both of the combatants still want more and more armored vehicles. Yes they can be taken out with shoulder fires missiles but it is no walk in the park. Imagine if the BMP in the above video has been supported by 3 other BMPs and an aggressive complement of infantry. It is the Russian tactic of using them in drips and drabs and not supporting them well that gets so many of them destroyed.
Below is footage of them advancing on the now dysfunctional opponent.
