Blogs written by REMF....the reference to a "7th Cav" platoon refusing an order to walk a trail is horseshit. After the Pentagon decided not to win that war after Tet, we who'd given our best, left in disgust. After '68 even AC/AM had to take on draftees who were shit soldiers who's disregard for unit discipline got their patrols shot to pieces. And of course there were the ticket-puncher officers who sent these dopers and drunks into places they'd never get out of alive. But even before all this, if a First-Shirt thought the LT had made a mistake in judgement, he'd disobey an order and stand his ground. The LTs quickly learned if his non-coms weren't in on his decisions, he'd have his hands full. No "whole company" ever refused direct orders...that's horseshit.
