We had some ROK soldiers integrated into our outfit during the winter of
1950. Those poor guys came in wearing their field packs and carrying bulging
barracks bags, containing all the stuff they had been issued earlier by the
American Quartermaster Corp.. Including mosquito nets. A foot of snow on the
ground, and these guys probably brought those blasted nets all the way up from
Pusan! They had frequent inspections, and we were told that if any of their gear
came up missing they would be severely punished. Many times, I saw an ROK
officer or NCO chew out one of the enlisted men. At the end of the butt-chewing
the superior would haul off and slap the guy's face. Strange ..........
I have forgotten how to start a new discussion.
