Yeah, I am sure there that the legacy as time pass gets lost as people who are in charge of units are trying to do what they think is best to save their command and in some case what left of the local population. One has to remember the units that are operating say the New England would have different out look than units say operating in Texas, Arizona, California, and Alaska.

Unit commanders far away from being on the Front would be hard press afterward to justify taking such action once the 'peace' is restored. While on the Front-lines areas it would be expected since their are enemy troops activity in the area.
