Carl and Lacy,
   From what I'm reading, no one's regiment's  reputation needs to be 
repaired, but rather, the President (Truman), Congress and the military 
brass, for which in another email you requested seats closest to the fire in 
Hell for sending you guys there without proper arms, worse - I guess - 
defective arms, not enough of you, not enough training,  and
  from what I can gather
        THEY KNEW IT!!!!
                    I am stunned.
                                  Gernilee
