I may not be completely right, but wasn't it the 28th that buckled and run under the first German advance.

Buckled and ran? Just read about the 28th Division in Huertgen Forest in November. Then sent to "rest and recuperate" in the Ardennes in December.

Pray you never have two months like that in your life.

He wants to talk some trash, well, he and the rest of his division bought that right.

ayup...my Dad was with the 28th, a medic in a recon group...was captured on the 3rd day of the bulge. 28th took near 100% casualties in the Huertgen.
some links about the bulge
Battle of the Bulge: U.S. Army 28th Infantry Division's 110th Regimental Combat Team Upset the German Timetable

The Fifth Panzer Army Attacks the 28th Infantry Division

The 28th's portion of the front was a 25-mile-long sector that was more than three times the area an infantry division was normally expected to defend. The 110th was assigned the vulnerable center section of the line. To make the task even more challenging, the regiment held this portion of the front with only two of its three battalions, the 1st and 3rd. The regiment's remaining battalion, the 2nd, was held behind the lines at Donnange and Wiltz, where it served as the division's only infantry reserve.

My Dad said they could hear the buildup across the river and the reports were not pursued. It left some (including him) with the impression that they were "set up". He never liked Eisenhower.

to say something offhanded and derogatory like that without a little research is bad form.
