"hero"

[W Brewer]

Where were the heroes?
Maybe I have been watching too many Combat! episodes on Youtube lately, or
maybe I just flashed back on basic infantry training of 45 years ago, but
it seems to me that the most effective reaction to an inescapable ambush is
to face the enemy and charge. At least when the gunman's rifle jammed,
every swingin' dick in Theatre 9 should have rushed him. Then we could have
passed out the medals.
