It's good to see the support elements aren't forgotten in this film.

[@OldDogVT]

Yeah, agree, but not a hell of a lot about combat engineers. Our role was much broader than hinted at.

[@sarge3ad]

@@OldDogVT , I was a Small Arms Repairman 45B20 and although they barely said a word about support for Armament systems, I was surprised they said anything about support in general at all. Normally it's all about the combat arms being recognized and those who support them so they can shoot their weapons or get them across a river is never mentioned. My motto back then was, "Try Winning Without Us!"

[@wc864]

It sucks that they don’t mention Air Defense Artillery

[@stocktonrails9279]

I served 3 1/2yrs out of my 4yr enlistment in B Co and in CSC (Redeye Section) in the 2-48 Inf at Coleman Kaserne in Germany… I remember those days like it was yesterday. And we damn sure spent a lot of time in the field during those 3 1/2yrs- about 14 field exercises in total. Our 2-48 motto was ‘We set the pace’. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
