Brothers in arms: Incredible pictures show 8,000 US troops storming a hilltop in Colorado to mark 55 years since brutal 110-hour battle in Vietnam
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Altitude, sure.
Missing the 100% humidity,
garbage dump jungle rot smell,
tanglefoot vines and Mattel mud jams.

  • Soldiers from the 4th Infantry Division carried out a brutal exercise on a hilltop in Fort Carson in Colorado

  • The storming of the hill commemorates the Battle of Dak To in Vietnam in 1967

  • The US were locked into a 110-hour battle for one hill in one of the bloodiest encounters of the war

#1 Excellent commemorative act to built Esprit, pride, sense of belonging and camaraderie.

Sad state of affairs when the author of the article calls the various Regimental Colors and Unit Guidons "banners". It gives a sad proof of how ignorant and lazy reporters are these days.
