Yes, and tell him to investigate HOW the Americal division was formed, why that probably contributed to the chaos that led up to My Lai, etc. The Americal Division itself was a fiasco...it never went to Vietnam as a division, never trained together as a division, the commanders of many units had never worked with adjacent commanders in the various sectors, and it goes on and on. I was on the project that put it all together!
