Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Glenn first surveyed members of the 1st Cavalry Division who fought in Vietnam, then polled a sample of officers currently on active duty to validate the results. His findings demonstrate that contrary to popular perception, nearly all American combatants met the fundamental demand of combat: engage the enemy when called upon. This is a far different statistic from the 25 percent commonly attributed to U.S. ground forces in World War II.".
