Question: Why were these American sentries in arctic gear guarding their ammunition dump with a wooden mallet? Answer: Because July 4th is a 'fun day' as America celebrates its Independence. But anyone trying to take advantage of the apparently relaxed approach to sentry duty would soon have learned that more traditional and lethal weapons were readily available. The soldiers on sentry duty were E4 Hector Carabello from Puerto Rico and E4 Clark Huff from Georgia (holding mallet).
