 Just saw ABC's Night Line where they were interviewing wounded Cubans back
in Havana.Did these guys look like soldiers? I didn't think so,50% shown on
the interview were aged 40-45 plus and in pretty poor physical shape(I know
they've been through the mill the last week or so)to be considered combat
troops. 

  On the other hand if the roles were reversed what would be the make up of
U.S. troops/builders i.e the C.B.'s.Are these guys less rugged looking,more
technical types of soldiers who would still be able to give a reasonably
good account of themselves in a fire-fight.
