I was going to say that we have better documentation for Sgt Speranza's feat of brauhaus heroism than their is for BGen Anthony MacAuliffe's pithy quote. I've always believe an airborne general would probably have said something unprintable when asked to surrender.
General MacAuliffe was an artillery officer: he was in command while the CG of the 101st was home on leave.
Have my own story of illicit drinking - while I was in Vietnam, anything alcoholic was hard to get where were, but one of my buddies snagged a gallon size can of pineapple from the mess hall. We poured the juice into a large glass bottle and threw a handful of yeast into it.
Three days later, it was well fermented and we drank the whole thing while a corpsman stood by with an aid bag, in case.. Great stuff!
Hahahahahah...such as “Tell them they can go **** themselves!”
