Touche and I concede the fact. My understanding is a few of those same gentlemen played goat polo not long after with the same horses.

And COL(Ret.) Lewis Millet (RIP), Medal of Honor recipient, led the last American bayonet charge 60 years ago last month in Korea. Less well known was that Millet was court martialed shortly after the Anzio invasion because he has deserted in 1941 and joined the Canadian army to get into WWII. Shortly after his court martial he recieved a battlefield commission. Sadly he passed away a couple years ago, a few days after Veteran's Day.
