Re: Drug Use in Korea
In two tours as an Artillery Scout Sergeant, I had the honor of serving with
every regiment in the Division. 9/15/50- 12/11/50 with the Fifth Marines.
4/5/51- 11/19/51 with the First Marines. 12/20/52-9/4/53 with the Seventh
Marines. The Corpsmen in these units made it a point to have 190 on hand-no
pun intended-for medicinal purposes, to calm nerves, as human antifreeze. You
shouldn't be taking exception, you should be applauding the work of fine men
going the extra mile for their charges. That is why Marines hold their
Corpsmen in the highest esteem, and consider them Marines. That is why until
the Marine Corps League admits Corpsman as equal members, tens of thousands
of us will never join. Sorry you didn't do that for your guys.
