VietNam 1965 the 'real' battle of la Drang...

Which inspired the Mel Gibson Movie "We Were Soldiers"...LTC Moore(Ret. Lt General) was a true commander who not only led but inspired his men on and off the battlefield, these are found far and few between in todays world of PC Commanders... LTC Moore  reborne the 7th Cav of  the failed Col Custers command...it was re-designated as the 1st Air Cav ...however LTC AllenWest is one of these few and far between non PC commanders of today!
Mel Gibson captured the essence of the true battle...compare the real battle to the interpretation by Mel Gibson!
