Yes, the 101 A.B. fought a good war. However from Marions posting of casualty figures
and days of combat in Europe it makes one wonder. No Airborne Div had near the
figures of one hell of a lot of the just plain Infantry divisions. Along with the false claim
in B.O.B. of capturing Berchestgaden also makes one wonder. I wonder if they will ever admit to it ??? As Recon 3-7-I once posted "evidentally if it wasnt done by the Rangers, Airborne, or "special troops" it wasnt done". Believe it or not guys, a small bit of the war was won by regular ground pounders. In fact, one hell of a lot of it. I just
wonder how many other soldiers were at Bastone when they got their name in fame?
But no other outfits were hardly mentioned.
