The Command Post Group - It Was Not Just a Pusy Battalion

"I want tigers, not pussies. With the fourth battalion, 39th and 39th infantry, that's who he's taken over." "It was not a question of feline degree. As far as I could see, this unit was not even a military organization," says Hackworth. The troops were low on spirit and a few were high openly on marijuana,. Few men carried or cared for their weapons. Most had let them go red with rust as they strolled around without them. Grenades weren't taped. When a unit moved out, most of the gunners wore their ammo poncho via style.
