Thanks for your service. You guys get to wear the coolest hats in the US Armed Forces btw!!! lol. Always makes me think of the opening scenes of Apocalypse Now and Wagner. But your job was more akin to Spec Ops. One of my favorite contemporary accounts of Army Scouts was in the first Gulf War getting trapped in Injun country. They didn’t have a chance in Hell of getting out but managed to call in artillery and amazingly extracted. Mixture of luck, balls and training. What was your MOS designation if you don’t mind sharing.
19D Armored Reconnaissance Specialist AKA Cavalry Scout
“If General Milley “blew up” at President Trump just one single time, he’d be in Alaska counting snow flakes.”
Yeah no kidding. The latest headline in Stars and Stripes would read:
“Artic Command welcomes new commander.”
