Thacker) Organization: Cornell Univ. CS Dept, Ithaca NY Lines: 12 Approved: military@att.att.com From: moudgill@cs.cornell.edu (Mayan Moudgill) I wonder-- what (military) problems are there about fighting in the desert. I know that cause of the heat single engin helicopters can only carry 1/2 or so of their usual payload. Dust creates _severe_ maintainance problems. Any others? :) mayan
