THE THING

For those of you who never had the pleasure to serve in the infantry, I won't even try to explain what this thing is. But a lot of us remember them well, and wished to hell we could've ridden them instead of having to walk along-side them. This one showed up at the 2010 Memorial Day Program at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. They're now collectors' items and probably paved the way for the modern-day ATV.

(We called them "Mules.")
