My dad tells a story out of Vietnam, his platoon had engaged a detachment of VC and had requested a resupply of ammo, water and C-rats, they got the C-rats and the water, but the S-4 sent forward several cases of 7.62mm, ammo for M-14s, wouldn't have been a problem, but they had turned in their M-14s over a year ago....
