Second from the bottom is a good place for it.
If you read about Biak, the similarities are numerous. Outnumbered, out of water, attacking up hill through tall grasses, against an entrenched enemy, with little/no artillery/tank support.
People with an impossible job getting blamed for not being "motivated" enough. End up being removed only to have the replacement needing the same things the other asked for to succeed. All so a distant and almost absent Brass can get another feather in his cap.
Shaun Penn, John Travolta, and George Clooney all give me gas. Nick Nolte...just Hick-ups.
I guess I just like anything about the PTO, since it rarely gets mentioned (since the John Wayne films), as being part of the war.
