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.

Execution of Russian soldiers “who get scared” is going to be rough on manpower levels. I have to admit I always got scared under artillery fire…. but that’s just me.

Julia Davis @JuliaDavisNews

These ideas were voiced on state TV in perfect coordination with what Russia's State Duma is currently doing. Putin's tools acting in concert with one another.

Astonishing. These are “child men”. Arguing for nuclear strikes against the UK? Triggers NATO strategic response. Who talks like this? Silly. Demented. Unrealistic. They would trigger the end of the world over their failed criminal invasion of Ukraine?

Julia Davis @JuliaDavisNews

Meanwhile on Russian state TV: State Duma deputy Andrey Gurulyov threatened Britain with nuclear strikes.

Host Olga Skabeeva said that Russia should have conducted a nuclear strike on Monday, since many important people were in attendance for the Queen's funeral.

Agree. The future of our democracy is at stake in the 2022 and 2024 elections. It’s not only the turnout, the quality of candidates….. it’s also how the vote is conducted and certified. We must believe that the process is trusted.

Richard N. Haass @RichardHaass

This may be the most important thing Congress does this year, as it will set the context for the aftermath of the 2024 elections. It is essential for American democracy that the Presidential Election Reform Act be passed. 2020 was too close for comfort. https://nbcnews.to/3R19Cb7

MSNBC. Ukraine has generated fear, confusion, and 80,000
Casualties in the Russian Forces. This war is not over. UKR needs another violent destruction of Russian forces. The Kherson pocket must be overrun in the south.
