And the 31st Infantry had the distinction of having fought in three wars before ever being located in the United States. One of its battalions, the 1st, has never served in the US! (In my T2kU I have it attached to the British 6th Division in China.)

I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end...
