Experience Gives Perspective

McCaffrey commanded B Co 2-7th Cav in Vietnam during 1968-69.  In this series of video interviews, veterans of the company share their perspective of the battlefield leadership of then Captain Barry McCaffrey. 
 
Captain McCaffrey was on his third combat tour at age 25.  He would be wounded for the third time while commanding this Air Assault Company of the 1st Cavalry Division.  
 
1st Sergeant Emerson Trainer was an enormously experienced field combat leader. He had served in the same B Co 2-7th Cav in the Korean War.  He also would be wounded for the third team leading these terrific soldiers. The soldiers loved and trusted him. At age 35 he was the “Old Man” of the company.
 
The soldiers were mostly teenagers or younger than 22.  Almost all were draftees….. even though draftees comprised less than 25% of the total troop population in Vietnam.  These troops were incredibly courageous, aggressive, quick to protect their buddies, smart and physically fit. Combat was relentless and violent. We lived like animals and dug like moles. 
 
The company operated alone on the battlefield but was supported by incredibly effective US artillery, attack helicopters, and US Air Force fighter-bombers. 
 
These soldiers have stayed together in association for 50 years.  Every two years we gather at the Vietnam Memorial and remember those who were killed…. and all those who protected each other.

They talk about Trump Derangement Syndrome.
But the real challenge we face is TSS:
Trump Submission Syndrome.
Members of Congress, surrendering their authority out of fear; law firms, prizing their business ahead of their oath, as advocates, to the law; universities,…

A literary masterpiece, 1984 exposes tactics of suppression that feel all too familiar in our world today.

Here are ten truths Orwell urged us to confront to ward off Big Brother 🧵👇🏼

For months, @elonmusk lionized @realDonaldTrump as a great POTUS--even proclaimed his "love." Trump, in turn, hailed Musk as a "great patriot," and gave him carte blanche to run roughshod thru government.
Today Trump called Musk "crazy" and Musk said Trump should be impeached.

“If you think the world is selfish and rotten, go to the cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer overlooking Omaha Beach. See what one group of men did for another on D-Day, June 6th, 1944.” — Andy Rooney
