1903 & Armistice Day Tribute

[HOOKED ON HISTORY]

last minute "offensives" to gain some last minute glory

This reminds me of "Operation Ripcord" one of the last major engagements of the 101st in Vietnam recounted in a book by the same name in which some officers sensing the end of the war approaching made some questionable choices costing many lives in an effort to advance their carriers.
