If the infantry was so f*cking weary, why didn't they just request a JTAC?
Problem solved.
Pretty funny, in a blasphemous sort of way.

And as a former 91B, I won't recount the stories of sick call, that would possibly put "the chosen ones" in a bad light.

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'
That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
I came up as an 0311 but I'll buy a beer for anyone that raised their hand and swore the same oath that I did. MOS hasn't meant too much in the wars we've been fighting for the past decade. "Frontline troops" and REMFs sometimes are and sometimes aren't. That being said...
We are the boys who will go to a particular place, at H-hour, occupy a designated terrain, stand on it, dig the enemy out of their holes, force them then and there to surrender or die. We're the bloody infantry, the doughboy, the duckfoot, the foot soldier who goes where the enemy is and takes them on in person. We've been doing it, with changes in weapons but very little change in our trade, at least since the time five thousand years ago when the foot sloggers of Sargon the Great forced the Sumerians to cry "Uncle!" - Juan Rico "Starship Troopers"
