    To all those currently/former US servicemen and women out there i got a question. Will the molle II assault pack attach directly to the molle II frame?

    Is the ALICE system frame really that bad? Can some old Devil Dogs (or soldiers) from the days of ALICE tell me their thoughts and some of the pros/cons on it? I figure if it was good enough for Chesty, it's good enough for me...(figuratively speaking).
