What's your take on the accuracy in detail of WEB Griffin? Bonus points for those who link to a source.

I was digging through my goodreads bookshelves and decided to write a review of one of the books that I've read many times. I suspect that they are highly accurate down to most of the details, but have yet to really dig into any good non-fiction from that era. I would love to hear from those who have read more and /or were there. Here's a copy / paste from my goodreads post for those who are interested:

I love this series, and often wonder about the big historical points, like the development of army aviation as a radical new idea against the will of the establishment. Is that how it really happened?

And the units that were called "Green Beret's" in the 60's who were called "Special Forces" when I was in, were they really treated like unwanted bastard stepchildren before they became the Army's pride and joy? I believe it was what they achieved with the Montaignards in Vietnam that brought them into the sunlight of general approval, but it's another detail I hope to know more about some day.

Would love to hear from any others out there on the interwebs with some knowledge of this era and links to sources.

It's very hard to imagine how the Vietnam war might have been different without Air Cav, which is now considered a type of Airborne Infantry.

Also, the differences between infantry and cavalry culture, I would love to get a cavalryman's take on this. I come from the Infantry where Griffin's mockery of the Airborne concept is unheard of, except for all of these books being in the clothing sale store next to Hal Moore, George Patton et. al
