Well said Francis but hindsight is always 20-20! I never knew Purvis but do know the guy who knew him & I'll take his word to the bank! Lt. Calley was a scapegoat for his "superior ossifers" and Pat Tillman got FUBAR'D by a FNG. Combat is a crazy thing at best, but the responsibility always flows downhill instead of up. "S**t flows downhill, the CO chews out my ass & I chew out yours. It's called the chain of command. Small wonder some "senior ossifers" got fragged IMHO!

Best Regards, George
