Airborne All the Way. Wanted to “ surmise” the 82nd of the 60’s is not the Airborne of today. I have lost all trust in our Pentagon of today, they are the ones ultimately giving the marching orders. I do not trust them to unleash the full force of the 82nd. Tying their hands is exactly what I expect of them.Hope I am wrong.
I agree, but if you think that those troopers were better than those of today, you would be wrong. Many troopers of that era were draftees and druggies. Vietnam had destroyed the NCO Corps. The good news is that when faced with a real mission, they stepped up to the plate and got the job done. Good soldiers when the bullets were flying.
