Very similar to the condition it was in after being minced in the meatgrinder of the assault on the Huertgen Forest in WW2, which is why they were resting and recuperating in the quiet zone in front of the Ardennes at the time of the Bulge offensive. Wrong place, wrong time, bad luck, questionable command-and I'm not just pointing at General Cota, either.

Anyone else notice, in the general overview of the future history of the world of T2K, that history seems to be doing a lot of repeating?
