He was a rifleman in the 106th Infantry Division that had two of its infantry regiments surrounded by the Germans during the opening days of the Battle of the Bulge. The two regimental commanders ordered the surrender of their soldiers because of being cut off.

Friend of mine has the book he wrote of roughly the same title. Perhaps I should borrow it sometimes ... perhaps not. I’m not entirely sure I care for his writing style.

The left always gets just about everything wrong. And the only way you can do that, is if you always know what the correct choice is and you never take it. Such is the life of a lefty.
