Later that day I learned that a corporal had led the spontaneous assault across the airfield. Somebody said the guy jumped up from the ground and shouted, "I've had enough of this shit!" and took off across the airfield toward the enemy positions. Every man near him jumped up to follow, and the attack spread like wildfire up and down the length of the airfield. Goddamn! What Soldiers!"
Great leaders always rise to the occasion. Much like the unsung heros that got off the Normandy beachs. In a way I am glad that our opponents often make the mistake of underestimating the character of the American soldier.
Great story! I have emailed the link around. I noticed this in the title:
"Airborne-amphibious rescue of Grenada--Jump under 500 feet with U.S. Army Rangers below Cuban anti-aircraft guns!"
......and I wondered if Shooter was there?
