Name the most impressive battles involving mechanized infantry in the modern age.
The Battle of 73 Easting comes readily to mind, but in my opinion it ranks just behind the Thunder Run by the 3rd ID into Baghdad.
It was a classic...I don't even know how you would classify it...mechanized recon by fire? A mech infantry unit performing a mech cavalry mission?
Whatever you call it, I think it was one of the boldest military actions of the war.
Sidenote: Speaking of 73 Eastings, required reading is found here. General HR McMasters (yeah he was SERIOUSLY involved in that fight) has his "after action". He's at Benning now and leading the school house since it moved from Ft. Knox (I went to a couple of courses there and that place sucks...heard Benning isn't much better though).
