The OP is Airborne, as am I, and I was never trained to Take POWs, only repel or dispose, and that is what I trained my men to do also, repel or dispose....
And Javalinas re probably some good eats, so it's kind of a good deal for Morale, and the cooks...
Yup, mesquite + Javalina + pogie Bait....
Yum yum....
Javelinas are tasty, true enough. One of my most fond memories of being in USAF was when we'd have to be choppered out to the missile sites and the pilots would fly through the mountain passes then drop down low below radar and fly along chasing javelina thru the desert, dodging suguaro cactus. Nose down tail up doors open and hanging by your straps, it was great fun.
Morale wouldn't be a problem here, still don't need mines or mortars tho.
Yeah, I love the Memories of the Huey and Blackhawk rides....
Best Huey stop was a Nose Up to stop the forward Motion, and super soft landing on the skids, we all jump out three steps forward and drop, the bird leaves like his ass was on fire.....
Blackhawk, middle of the Night, pilot is booking it, must've been doing like 100 mph, map of the earth, we arrive at the DZ, and burn in to a jolting stop, both front wheels buried in the sand, we all simply slid out on our butts and went prone, when he left it felt like we were going to eat Sand for the next week....
Fun times....
Agreed, no Mortars, Claymores are still a Maybe....
