Ook - well, maybe nobody at the Pentagon reads FR...yeah, right...

Good read. There's a convincing authenticity there. And yes, our guys are very, very good. God bless 'em and keep 'em safe...

"Nearly every LT in the 101st and in the 2/2 Cav (where I was last week) is a West Pointer, and although they look impossibly young and wet behind the ears, they've all been to war, and they go about their jobs with a ruthless efficiency I find hard to believe, even though I've been watching it for two weeks."

Give me a break! This USMA '69 alum must have been a real slacker if he finds the performance of the current crop of Lts. to be ruthlessly efficient. This sad sack is not qualified to carry his grandfather's duffel.
