Unofficial Scout History
Early versions of the Scouts included troopers such as
Brent, Eric, Mike, Russ, David, and others and went under the
unofficial names of the "Veterans" (sometimes pronounced
"Better-uns"). The term was applied to experienced reeanctors
with semi-sane horses, carbines, and a willingness to take hits on the
battlefield. A subset of this group was the "Cobra Brothers." The
Cobras became a pseudo fraternal organization which really cannot be
discussed in public lest we risk being placed on Double Secret
Probation ... use your imagination!
