#29
This little poem says it all. 3/5 mechanized. Cav Stood Down and went back to the world (Fort Lewis Washington).
But the 3/5th Air Cav. was left to themselves. We became the Bastard Cav.
We used to cover our tail #'s and our Unit Insignia up, and fly down to Da Nang and steal supplies and the M.P.'s use to shoot at us on the way out.
Hey, we're on the same side aren't we
We used to call our attachment to the 101st Airborne as being attached to the first of the worst or 100th and the worst, because we couldn't get supplies.
We ever had to go back to Quang Tri after we abandoned it and dig up a rotor hub for a cobra that we buried because we weren't supposed to have it.
Not part of our TO&E roster.
D-Troop 3/5th Air Cav. (Charliehorse Scouts) Unit Song
Your
go-in home in a body bag do da, do da .
Your going home
in a body bag do, da, do, da day.
Shot between the eyes, shot between the
thighs your going home in a body bag, do da do da day!
You can hear the song sung by us on
video. The Walter
Cronkite War Chronicles.
