What exactly is supposed to be funny about this. This thread is supposedly about quotes, jokes and related. I fail to see how this picture belongs here.

The height difference.

 

[Maxrobot1]

Not exactly funny but humorous: The disparity in height (size) The Yards were small 5'5" and women even smaller I felt like a pedophile (hard to believe that a 5'2 female is a fully consenting adult) most of the time

I had a female co-worker refugee from Vietnam. She was in her 30s, 4' 8" and slim. Like a tiny cute doll. Her accent was cute too.

These are not Jungle Boots but all leather buckled M43 combat boots from WW2 origin.

The M66 Jungle Boots had an all cotton olive green upper and black leather heels and toe covers.

-Weelll... my first tour in VN started late in '63. We were issued what appeared to be WW2 buckle combat boots but they were leather & something canvas like. They MAY have been something developed late in WW2 & kept in storage. (You wouldn't BELIEVE the strange crap that was sent to VN in the early days!!)
-Our first jungle fatigues were nothing like what came out a little bit later. Same material but cut more like regular fatigues.
-Oh, yeah, there were even high top (9" or a bit more?) lace up tennis shoes that we were supposed to use as jungle jump boots. No thanks.
-BUT: as one of my favorite instructors used to say "You could be correct." I only know what I saw when I was there.
