@wildebube Truth is ..thats the "Blood Stripe" of US Marines on the uniforms of NCO and Officers. The Battle of Chapultepec. Depicted in the Marines Hymn... the Halls of Montezuma. Over 90% of the NCO and officers were killed and the US Marines still took the field. In a similar fashion..an almost equal number left the north and returned home to the south when the War Between the States broke out.

@wildebube Hell yes!!!
Supposedly a true story:
Abraham Lincoln once asked General (Winfield) Scott the question:
"Why is it that you were once able to take the City of Mexico in three months with 5,000 men, and we have been unable to take Richmond with 100,000 men?"
"I will tell you," said General Scott. "The men who took us into the City of Mexico are the same men who are keeping us out of Richmond."
