In 1961, the Koreans were having a big commie riot, at the entrance to K14 Air Base, one of the no more nukes riots . We were patrolling the DMZ, they pulled us down to help with security, The I corp commander was General Grey, a good old boy from Georgia, He lined up about 30 tanks, and in front of them was a line on G.I.s , with fixed Bayonets , then he put a line of all the Black Guys, in front of them with baseball bats as his first line of defense.
The slopes were throwing anything they could find at us, and every once in awhile they would rush our line, those Black guy's wore their asses out with their bats, there was hair, teeth, and eyeballs, all over the ground, just before dark the guy's in the rear with the gear, came up with duffel bags full of base ball grenades of C.M.D.M. and Tear gas, we stood on the Tanks and threw that Chitt into the crowd, the wind was behind us, and c.m.d.m. is real nasty stuff it makes your eye's slam shut, you mouth water, and you start puking and crapping your pants all at the same time, Didn't take but about 15 min. and the slopes cleared out, and they didn't come back for more. In the old day's we called that crowd control.
