5. I missed the branding and am only reading about it now...

...but my guess is that the number was selected precisely because it calls to mind such a famous and storied unit, whose example of true honor and bravery makes the chickenhawks look even more craven and sleazy by comparison.

In a way, it's a compliment to those who served in units like the 101st or the 82nd that you are used as the yardstick for fighting spirit and courage and as the example of just how far away from that the chickenhawks are.
