Will try this again. Unless this bishop was there don't consider yourself an expert on what was happening over forty years ago. I was there and am proud to call the Korean troops brothers. Attacks were frequent by black pajama VC who would come from the villages and attack the troop camps. Harsh results limited these attacks as opposed to the hands tied behind the back of US troops. The PC writeup won't show this.
