..but it's still an interesting read, although I'm not really surprised by any of it.
Just so you know: few soldiers in the 101st are paras. The 101st is a helicopter assault force; they don't jump.
The 101st keeps the name Airborne because that was the original role of the division. It's a history and heritage thing. Much like a British cavalry regiment might still be called lancers but they don't carry lances.
It's been that way since Vietnam.
