Vets and VN
Gen Wesmoreland , (I was told) gave the 1/35 inf a rope to wear on there left sholder I wore one just like all the guys that went home the same time I did. The rope is very distinct. Its red,Green and brown, anyway, I was in this VFW one time and this guy comes in with his dress uniform on, He had an infantry rope on (light blue) and the rope I was told Westmoreland issued us. He had his trousers bloused and a 25th patch on his right shoulder. I asked him if he was with the 1/35 and he said no he was in the 1st cav? I then anounced to the bar that this guys was full of shit and proceeded to tell that he was not airborne but had his trousers bloused and he had a 25th patch on his right shoulder but he says he was in the Cav and the rope, well we didn't even go there. He left the bar.
I will never understand why guys do that.
