<em class='bbc'>The Filthy Thirteen</em> by Jake McNiece
Autobiography of a WWII paratrooper from a demolition section of the 101st Airborne Division. It supplements some other material I've read. Purported to be the inspiration of "The Dirty Dozen" but I see it in name only. McNiece and his unit were troublemakers, but not criminals.
The Filthy Thirteen were responsible for one of the most iconic images of US paratroopers in the Normandy Invasion, namely the mohawk haircuts and war paint.

Who, Me?
Veni, Vidi, Vamoose
I Came, I Saw, I Skedaddled
Kids shouldn't drink with monkeys.
