Congress to Army, “Airborne is too Dangerous!”
Posted on 2012/10/03 by admin
Last year, more than 2,500 lost duty days were reported throughout the Army due to accidents and injuries as a result of airborne operations and training according to a recently published study. This has prompted serious discussions of ceasing all airborne operations.
"We asked 82nd Airborne Commanding General, MG James L. Huggins, what his reaction is to the possible loss of his division’s namesake, Huggins told our reporters, “you tell that little shit that if he wants to see tactical advantage to come see me – I’ll show him tactical advantage and he will understand what a sore 4th point of contact really means.”
