When us soldiers went into the bush what two creatures comforts were taken?

When U.S. soldiers went into the bush during the Vietnam War, two common creature comforts they often took with them were letters from home and personal items like photographs. These items provided emotional support and a sense of connection to their loved ones, helping to cope with the harsh realities of combat. Additionally, some soldiers carried small food items or snacks, such as candy or Chewing Gum, to boost morale during long operations.
