I was in that unit for three years. I had been transferred to the 7th ID ten months before that battle.
I linked up with the guys the next year on my way to Bragg. The stuff I heard simmers in me today. The French were dirty, the Italian government was cowardly, and Billy Clinton denied our guys armor support in a foreign hostile nation because it would look bad on TV.
At the same time, there was a M1 tank and a Bradley circling a farmhouse full of religious types in Waco Texas.
Screw that Kiddie [bleep] Clinton. Did you know Lance Twombley?

Saw it rong time back. Reminds me of my younger days.
Clinton isn't half the monster that LBJ was. Maybe only half as bright though. Passed by his place tuesday morning hauling calves to Fritztown. It’s all I can do every time I drive by, to keep from stopping there at the cemetery where he is buried, and pizzing on his grave. Figger they got cameras up just for that reason.

Been having a conversation with my students today since I just seen “1917”
IMHO “Saving Private Ryan” is still #1
“Blackhawk Down” is a close second.
“1917” is in a tight race for the third spot with “Enemy at the Gates” and “Das Boot”.

I know one of the guys that trained some of those guys that died in that [bleep] show. I met him this past spring while visiting my buddy who dates his daughter. Super good dude. Generous guy, loves people hates democrats.

Screw that Kiddie [bleep] Clinton. Did you know Lance Twombley? No. I was up at Regimental Headquarters for the three years prior, though we shared the same real estate. I ate at the 3rd Bat DFAC almost daily until I got quarters. I knew Rich Kowaleski (sic), Casey Joyce and LTC McKnight. I met then Major McKnight in Panama, as I was the newest Private in the Regiment. I worked for him when he was the Regimental XO and I was a HHC training NCO. These were all great guys. There was only one guy there I didn't like. I was stunned when it happened. My best friend there had to run the "Mogadishu Miles", the klick back to the airfield.

Wife and I went to see that movie.
Pretty early in, I leaned over and whispered,
"This movie is going to make me want to shoot some spooks.
She shushed me, and gave me the dirty looks.
Halfway through, I leaned over and ask if she wanted to
shoot some. This time, she didn't get mad at me.
