You could say the same thing about the Guardsmen, and yet I don't see a lot of threads here on how many people miss the Guardsmen and wish they'd re-form.
Seems to me what was iconic about 27th Lancers was that in the mid- to late-70s, with the emphasis on execution, the Lancers would ALWAYS come out first tour and be dirty, and would be middle of the pack. And just like watching a Rocky movie at the time, you knew each time he was knocked down--he was gonna get up stronger, the Lancers would show up at Nationals and would have out-worked every one else and their show was gonna be bomb. And you respected that and got in the corner of the underdog.
