What would 1 of them do if they had a tour with an outfit like Merrili’s Marauders. Or the men who fought under Gen MacArthur..my dad had 5 major battles under him, including Corregidor. Airborne, put up the first US flag under sniper fire on a telegraph pole to be given to the Gen in that battle.
We are seeing them come home from both M.E. wars minus legs, arms etc. Besides the KIA.
Yes, and those coming home missing legs and some missing arms are mainly the result of riding up and down main supply routes and other roads. This is the Generals fault for their rotten tactics. Go back to Aghan just after 9/11. SF took the entire country with all of two A teams. One team jumped in and met up with a legendary SF SGM working as a CIA contractor before linking up with the Northern Alliance. Another team jumped in down south and linked up with Karzai. After they had taken over the country the Marines came in and their General F’d things up.
