Yes, but I was under the impression that 1st Cavalry was very mobile, that we could move them fast on a moments notice. I don't know how else you would define cavalry; might it mean more Bradleys than M-1A2s?
"The 101st is about as Airborne as the 10th is Mountain. For all intents and purposes it's historical and nothing more."
That saddens me greatly. I really liked the idea of the 10th mountain division being a 'mountain' division. They're not?
I like the 101st, I thought they were more mobile than they apparently are. I was planning on trying to join the 101st. Which brings me to another question: can you try to join specific divisions when you sign up? I wouldn't really be that interested in being in the 82nd, and I like the idea of rapelling out of helicopters. Heh.
Finally, if we decided to go ape sh*t and try to go after the insurgents big time, could we deploy more troops to Iraq without pulling them out of other countries (besides here at home)? If we did this, what could we do?
