+1 to that. Neat to see the things that don't change, but update. (A knife of utility or dagger size, boots, personal effects, etc.)

Yeah, the kit and weapons have changed dramatically, but the purpose for each item remains much the same. Kinda cool. Also, look how much chit the modern soldier carries! They can get away with that because soldiers ride into battle these days instead of walk.
