American soldiers were partially trained in the Vietnam language before they left to fight, but most certainly did use a language dictionary while there. It didn't take them long to pick up some of the language fast because it kept them alive. Many American soldiers (depending on where they were stationed) could speak fluent Vietnamese.

I would carry six 5.56mm magazines, which is fairly close to the amount carried by soldiers on patrol in Afghan. You could carry in excess of 20 5.56mm mags if you needed to though. In the Falklands War, Paras carried as many as 13 SLR 7.62mm magazines into battle.

The occasion of the address was the dedication of the national cemetery at Gettysburg, several months after the Battle of Gettysburg. The subject of the address was the inability of words to consecrate the burial ground more than had already been done by the blood of the soldiers who died there, and the obligation to carry on the work of the dead to preserve the Union. Well worth reading...
Black Operations, or covert operations, are not a group, but a category for missions that soldiers carry out. Most likely, soldiers in black operations carry various assortments of weapons.
