Shares Retired Army Lt. Gen. Harold “Hal” Gregory Moore, co-author of the book “We Were Soldiers Once…and Young,” Harold Gregory “Hal” Moore, Jr. (born February 13, 1922) was a retired Lieutenant General in the United States Army. Moore is a recipient of the Distinguished Service Cross, which is the second highest military decoration of the United States Army. He was the lieutenant colonel in command of the 1st Battalion, 7th Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division, at the Battle of Ia Drang on November 14, 1965, in Vietnam. Today he is the “Honorary Colonel” of the Regiment. Born in Bardstown, Kentucky, Moore’s chances of obtaining an appointment to the United States Military Academy were reduced due to the demographics of the area. Moore therefore moved to Washington, D.C., where he completed his high school education, and attended George Washington University for two years before receiving his appointment from a Georgia congressman in 1942 (despite having never before been to Georgia).

After four years of fighting, the Civil War ended. The victorious Union Army soon disbanded, leaving behind a small force of regulars to such diverse duties as guarding the Eastern Seaboard, serving as an occupation force in the South during Reconstruction, and returning to its numerous functions in the West. The work in the West often proved frustrating, especially because after Lee’s surrender the authorized strength of the U.S. Army shrank to 54,302 officers and men, while the salary of a private was decreased three dollars per month, which represented nearly a 20 percent reduction in pay. Matters worsened over time. From the mid-1860s through the late 1890s, the actual total force of the regular Army averaged a scant 25,000 men.
all of the way along the border to be able to fight isis. wolf? >> standby, because i want to bring kimberly into the conversation, and why do you think, because you have been talking to the national security officials, and pentagon officials why they believe that this strategy is better than the older ones? >> well, it is because they are working, and looking at the darwinian rules of vetting. they are going to look at the groups with success and vet them the as opposed to taking the people they don't know and take them out of the environment, and give them some training, and send them back into numbers too small to yuse the infantry tactics that the infantries are being taught. the problem is that it is bait and switch program, and it was taught to the syrian rebels that we will teach you how to defend your territory from all-comers, and the white house has changed it to you can only fight isis, and the syrian rebels did not
9/11-related attack on the u.s. consulate that actually had nothing to do with the outrage over the anti-muslim film? >> well, it was clearly a planned attack. you could tell that by the tactics and the weapons that were involved. small arms, automatic weapons, rocket-propelled grenades and infantry tactics. it's likely that the consulate was a target of opportunity and that the mob-related activity there was a good cover for the attack. so tactics demonstrated was planned. but it was probably hastily planned in any case. >> sir, you say a target of opportunity. why wasn't this consulate more secure? should it have been? >> oh, yeah, sure. your guess is as good as mine. i think that the state department has a lot to answer for. this should have been secured. don't forget this is a consulate away from the capital in a country that is just undergone a violent revolution in which we participated, by the way. there's no excuse for the place not being better secured.
