"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.

Oh, so you were there? Or perhaps you've had other first-hand observations of these lieutenants? Or maybe you were just talking out of your a**?

I apologize for my earlier post to you--on second read I realize you meant no disrespect to our soldiers.
