There are several detailed studies on Task Force Smith and the battle
at Osan posted on the United States Army Military History Institute's
web site:

Format is PDF so the files are quite large but, for those interested, well
worth the download time.

Very true but seems to me more like a human trait than limited to youth
only.  <g>
