Re: Volunteers for Korean War interviews...

Steven Gallagher,

You may be looking for something that does not exist.  My concern is that you 
have to catch the portrait of the soldiers we had when we went to Korea.  
They couldn't spell communism, nor were they there to fight some specific 
beliefs or fight for some other.  The abysmal ignorance of soldiers doing the 
fighting and the nation from which they came did not have them fighting for a 
particular purpose.  They were "fighting" because they were taken to where it 
was going on and told how to tell the difference between the good guys and 
their enemies.  Often this was a matter of locale, dress and equipment.

I will post you some stories of early battles if this would be of interest to 
you.

Best,

Carl Bernard 

Sorry,
