You got the first rock upside my head - and pretty much on target. "Spoons" did get kinda high-handed down in Nawleans.
Maybe one of those chamberpots got him and not a junior officer; generals get kinda testy about that kind of thing. (Hmmm? could be a chance that there was an enlisted man in blue on the other end - you know how they feel about pompous officers?).
9th stands for 9th Engineer Batt., 1t MarDiv, at ChuLai from Mar'67 'til June"68.
And. Suh! I will pick up the gaunlett and defend my position. JEB was feathers in his hat and chivalry and Charge of the Light Brigade. NFB understood mobility and shock - he was the first modern cavalry commander. You wanna stretch some points, he would be a great mech div. commander and even a great paratroop commander. Brandy Station would have been a whole lot diffferent with NFB in charge.
