You mentioning the 1/9 brings back memories of the “walking dead”...all I can remember about them is always getting their asses in a bind and some of us having to go in there and pull their bacon out of the fire!

I thought they already HAD... or do you mean they are now certified as combat-ready?
The way I understand it, they are the only Battalion to have their own NVA Regiment “attached” to them... with evil intent...
