But I know what a devil Truscott is.

Truscott, or, as his West Point classmates knew him: "Louce the Douce", has made a career of this sort of behavior. He was thrown out of the Army for his outrageous conduct at this first duty assignment, Ft. Carson. He would have been court-martialed, except for the reputation of his father and grand-father. He wore this as a badge of honor, claiming to have courageously stood up in opposition to the Vietnam warfare. Truth is that he was both a coward and a traitor, and totally devoid of honor.

He caused quite a scene when he strolled into his Class 10-year reunion dinner at West Point - barefoot in Black Tie with some Greenwich Village cutie on his arm. But, like many others on the Left - its got to be all about him.

I met Truscott socially in NYC in the early '80s. He was a regular in the old Lion's Head pub, a place with a certain following among the soused literati A rather self-important fellow, I thought, certainly not up to the family standards.
