Outnumbered nearly 5-to-1, lacking cold-weather gear, and short on food, ammunition, and medical supplies, the 101 refused to give up. We will always remember the sacrifices of the brave patriots who faced death and unimaginable adversity on the field of battle.

@@comp.eng.student2055 You don't seem to know too much about history because you instantly assumed this was Vietnam (somehow), so I'm going to take your braindead comments with a grain of salt. But you do realize that WWII and the Vietnam War were two completely different things, right? The U.S. forcibly dragged themselves into the Vietnam War to avoid the spread of communism, but were forced into WWII by Japan and Germany and ultimately ended/alleviated fascism and the terror of the Axis. While they joined Vietnam willingly to end another ideology (based more on economics than imperialism), they were forced into WWII and fought to end the terror against the oppressed people of Europe, Africa and Asia. None of these wars were profitable (Lyndon B. Johnson was widely hated and very unpopular primarily due to the intervention in Vietnam, and the government and politicians did not earn anything and it severely crippled the U.S. economy). But they were fought for completely different reasons, and if you're calling WWII profitable and you're not even taking into consideration the massive U.S. war machine, lend-lease, Marshall Plan, NATO, UN, then you're delusional or completely uninformed and these topics are way out of your range of discussion.
