Actually, we were loaded with cowards who found every slimy way possible to avoid combat. "The most courageous act" is to volunteer to lead men in combat - as your training was designed to do - and not make someone else do it in your place.
Yes, there were many characters who looked to avoid combat. There was nothing in the linked article to indicate Lt. Truscott took any action or had any desire whatsoever to avoid a lawful order for a combat assignment. Until and unless you can demonstrate Lt. Truscott refused a “lawful” order for a combat assignment to Vietnam, you will be wrongfully and disgracefully smearing his reputation in that one regard. However much we may dislike the messanger for other reasons, it should be recognized when the accusations do not conform with the evidence.
Truscott’s criticism of MacArthur in regard to casualties is a half-truth that amounts to deception and a lie.
Anyone’s criticism of Truscott for refusing an unlawful order may be an even worse half-truth and a lie if and when Truscott never refused a lawful order for a combat assignment to Vietnam.
