My uncle was with the 101st Airborne and stuck at Bastogne. He spoke very little of the experience, but laughed when recounting McAuliffe's "NUTS!" response to the demand of surrender. He was so young, still a teenager. Fortunately, he recovered fully from a wound to his hand and almost miraculously from frostbitten toes refusing to consent to amputation. It was a sacrifice that the current occupant of the White House can never fathom but dishonors. Heaven help us!

DJT avoided Military Service in the '60s.... aka 'Cadet Bone Spurs'... Instead he declared his Military Service was avoiding STDs at "Studio 54" in NYC... What-A-Man... ;-)
