Re: slang



Oh - I forgot to add -
 
Today in Korea, some of the partisans have surfaced and are demanding official recognition of their contributions and compensation.  They are getting louder and more aggressive. As we speak, an elderly woman is staging a sit-in at a Korean SF HQ demanding info on her son (a partisan - MIA).
 
The Seoul Gov seems to be leaning toward taking care of their partisans - but those of us who worked for the Americans are still left out in cold.  The Seoul gov won't deal with us saying we should talk to the US gov.  We are caught between a rock and a hard place.   Some of us are not happy campers.  I am sure you would feel the same way if you were in our shoes.
 
If you can help us in any way, please let me know.

Good question, Abe -
 
I joined an anti-Communist partisan one year before the war started - at age 14.  I doubt any list member here can fathom what it was like being a partisan fighter in North Korea.   American GIs had it good in Korea compared to our lot.
 
Another recurring theme on this list:  Korean Nationalism = Communism?

I was there and then.  I wonder how many of the list members here were in Korea during the war?
