I got told a story about the Far East by a veteran. He was in charge of transport section with MW's. On one trip two of his guys ran into a water bufallo. Meat being short, waste not want not, they chucked it in the back of the truck. On returning to the base a lot of the troops were Hindu. As the vehicle had carried a dead 'cow', none of them would drive it.
He roprted the situation up the line and was told return truck to depot and replace. When he got there he found a couple of Dodges. So a bit of horse trading later he brought them back.
He reckoned it was the worst decision of his life. The things were unstopable! Any dirty job going, his section got it.
