@libertateaaa why? this is obviously a doc about american paratroopers.

[libertateaaa]

But Germany in WW2 founded Airborne Assault, nobody says this? must start with something like this documentary

[centurion180ad]

We used to pay these brave soldiers as if their country cared for or about them; that we as a nation valued their lives and appreciated their service. That is no more, and long gone by.

Compensation, allowances, incentives & separation bonuses for enlistments are a sick joke; a travesty, and insulting. Officers are little better, and there are ///way/// too many of Brass Hats to begin with.

@DeutschlandHurra First combat jump for the US, was Afrika by the 503/509 PIB. Not 4 years later, but in November 1942.
