I'm watching The War on Netflix while I work late tonight.
No mention of the 82nd Mountain Litigators yet, but I'm sure the show will get to them eventually.

When he enrolled at Auburn University, the clerk at the Registrar's office asked him if the Marine Corps had taught him anything useful. Sledge replied:
Lady, there was a killing war. The Marine Corps taught me how to kill Japs and try to survive. Now, if that don't fit into any academic course, I'm sorry. But some of us had to do the killing—and most of my buddies got killed or wounded.[14]
