Those clowns just boggle my mind when I hear of the shit they did.
I think that it was a good demonstration that the COHORT concept has some serious flaws in it.
I'm pretty sure that attacking helpless washing machines with grenades is in violation of the Geneva Convention. I'll get my lawyer at work on this.. he'll be laughing for days....
One of our Rangers was from Guam, and kin to our incoming 1SG and the former 2/75 CSM (LG). Day 2 or 3 of the holding of the airfield, we're running out of chow (you'll only be there 24hrs and then relieved). This kid drops his boots, and the next thing I know he's 20ft up a coconut tree just hacking away. Nothing like fresh coconut to soothe a hungry stomach. It went real well with the "glass" bread we found in the comissary. You had to eat it very carefully after you picked out all the glass shards.
Another Bonehead example:
In my 2 man security position on the far side of the airfield, we had a shallow hole dug, claymore out (which one of us checked every morning), and in elephant grass about 10-15 ft high. Our positions are approx 50ft apart around the airfield. We are replaced by a single PFC from the 7th at about 0800 on Day 4. "you guys see any action?" came out of his mouth at about the same time he saw the pile of pull rings and empty casings (can you say eyes the size of dinner plates?). "No, they were a little quiet last night, though you need to check your claymore this morning". I had just checked it at about 0700 when the sun came up.
