I guess it's a lot different when a General can set back MILES away from the fighting and say, "Go get em' boys!",,,instead of a General on or at least near the line saying, "Follow me boys!!" From the movie, Gen. Hal Moore said I'll be the first one to set foot on the battlefield and the last one off and I promise you I won't leave any one of you behind.
What a battle, what an outfit, what a general.
And, what a film and what an actor.
Contrast to Weasel Clark insisting General Sir Jackson fire upon the Russians.
Negative, Prince, I won't start WWIII for you.

I promoted Lt. Col. Hal Moore to Gen. for the battle--a poetic license inadvertant, inaccurate, and I am dropping for twenty.
