Default I dont know

Its got to very hard on all of our troops,in Iraq.Being
plucked from cooler climates,any kind of cooler climate
To the extremes that they have there,is physically
hard,the body uses so much enegry taking to stay
cool.Im told our troops are eating 10,000 to 12,000
calories a day,considering military food that is alot.
Water is the key, people here dont drink enough.
When you work in extremes like this or in Iraq
you had better be drinking at least 2 Quarts of
water an hour,a rule of thumb we have here is
you dont have to go potty your already in trouble.
If I'm not mistaken all of the troops over there yours
and ours have that canteen back pack,and there
is water in their vechiles. In the winter here we have
a lot of Canadians visit for the winter,because ours
winters are much like what your summer is, and
rarely does it snow.
