A Historical Perspective...
“The
order came down: Any Soldier who had sixty days or less left to serve on
his enlistment as of the date of deployment, August 16 (1965), must be
left behind. We were sick
at heart. We were being
shipped off to war sadly understrength, and crippled by the loss of
almost a hundred troopers in my battalion alone.
The very men who would be the most useful in combat—those who
had trained the longest in the new techniques of helicopter warfare—were
by this order taken away from us.
It made no sense then; it makes no sense now.”
~ Colonel Hal Moore and Joe Galloway,
