Re: Re: proper wording for Vietnam Vet.

I'm a bit late to the party, here, but I just wanted to comment. It's no wonder there's confusion among the uninitiated as to proper unit designations considering that the media frequently gets it wrong.

This includes websites that should not make these kinds of errors. Just this morning I read an article on the DefendAmerica website that refers to 3 elements of the 25th Division's 1st (Stryker) Brigade as the "2nd Brigade, 8th Artillery;" "3rd Brigade, 21st Infantry;" & "2nd Brigade, 14th Cavalry."

These are all clearly battalions, with the possible exception of the 14th Cavalry element, which could be a squadron.
