If you go way back - you've got the Creighton Abrams factor - he took over for Westmorland in Viet Nam. Abrams was the Leg's Leg - Leg all the way. Had his feet planted firmly in the mud and had an unholy hatred for Special Forces.

This all came to a head in the (famous at the time) famous Green Beret Murder Trial. Read about it:

The whole case was fictionalized in a Robin Moore book called "Court Martial"

A good near/true account - names changed to protect the guilty.
