Rocky: Right in the 10 ring. Seems like people forget who took the real brunt of the wars, the Army Infantry. More combat time, more casualties per division, longer bad living conditions and damn little
recognition. Far as training, one thing we learned was to forget half of what we were taught, listen to those who knew from combat experience, and go on newly found instinct from actually being in combat.
Training only takes one so far in learning the facts of life and death. Granted, the Marines did help a little
in WW 2. Capt O. You sure picked a sore spot with this Infantry PFC.
