MSM screws up again

There is just so much wrong with this article that you've just gotta wonder if any journalists ever served in the military.

Rather than link it, I've included the whole thing, below.

During a routine patrol in Baghdad June 2, Army Pfc. Stephen Tschiderer, a medic, was shot in the chest by an enemy sniper, hiding in a van just 75 yards away. The incident was filmed by the insurgents.

Tschiderer, with E Troop, 101st “Saber” Cavalry Division, attached to 3rd Battalion, 156th Infantry Regiment, 256th Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, was knocked to the ground from the impact, but he popped right back up, took cover and located the enemy’s position.

After tracking down the now-wounded sniper with a team from B Company, 4th Battalion, 1st Iraqi Army Brigade, Tschiderer secured the terrorist with a pair of handcuffs and gave medical aid to the terrorist who’d tried to kill him just minutes before.

There is video of it, and thankfully, the kid is okay. The body armor works. The jihadi swine is captured, and all is okay that ends okay.

The offending paragraph is the one that boils my blood.

Tschiderer, with E Troop, 101st “Saber” Cavalry Division, attached to 3rd Battalion, 156th Infantry Regiment, 256th Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, was knocked to the ground from the impact, but he popped right back up, took cover and located the enemy’s position.

These guys can't get it right. They just refuse to try.

Anyone who has ever served around the Army knows that the 101st is a proud unit who has served in a variety of configuations. Above all, and foremost to their mission, they are an Airborne division, and the only division in the Army labeled as Air Assault.

Secondly, the unit that the kid is assigned to, 3rd Battalion, 156th Infantry, 256th Brigade, is a proud unit from the Louisiana National Guard.

I retired from 1/156, 256th Infantry Brigade, the only armor unit in the brigade. The 256th is heavy infantry, with two mech infantry battalions, one armor battalion and a support battalion. They directly descend from the Lee's Tigers, a unit that served honorably with the Confederate Army under Robert E. Lee.

As a matter of heritage and point of tradition, the Brigade Commander's call sign today is Tiger 6.

This young soldier is a Louisiana soldier, in a Louisiana unit, serving again overseas in defense of his nation. To PFC Tschiderer, I say Well Done. Tigers!
