Subject: Ashamed of it .... now

   What were those radios called? The ones the guys carried on their backs? SR 300? Anyway, they had this long aerial. Once, when we were moving up in 6X6s, our radio man saw a Korean peddling along the side of the road on his bicycle. He stuck the aerial out the side of the truck, and as we passed him it struck the Korean in the back. He went one way, and his bike went the other. We got a big laugh out of this, and the radio man played this game until he got tired of it. I guess it doesn't take much to amuse a person, if he is 19 years old, and may be riding to a sudden death.

   I stopped telling this story when I found civilians weren't amused by it. Even those who asked, "Did you ever kill anybody?"
