Back when the Army still had steel helmets, not Kevlar, in basic training they told us NEVER use your helmet for cooking. It removes the temper from the steel.
IMHO, the best present I ever gave my WWII buff brother-in-law was a copy of Mauldin’s book I found at a flea market (of course, I made sure all the pages were there before I sent it).

That might be grounds for court martial.

@pschearerWe were told to keep our temper under the helmet.

Bill Mauldin, one of the greatest WW2 correspondents… Was in front lines with troops in Europe and the pacific… My compatriot.

Can’t do that with a Kevlar. Better helmet. Can’t cook in it though.
