It seems very strange to me that most ROKA officers and NCO's had gone home 
for the weekend, leaving only duty personnel along the 38th Parallel if 
they intended to mount a surprise attack on North Korea.  Maybe this was 
only a deception ploy by the ROKs to throw the North Korean's off guard.  <LOL>

Ah!  The revision of history.
