I was sleeping in the barracks at Osan AFB Korea when I got the news. Twenty minutes later I was issued an M2 carbine and three magazines and placed on a post on the base perimeter. The orders were anyone outside the perimeter we called halt three times in Englinsh and Korean. Improper response or no response, shoot.Fact of the matter was we didn't know if the Norks of Chicoms would be piling down our throats at any minute. Korea this time of year can get mighty chilly. Being scared stiff didn't help much.

Our forefathers did not politely protest the British.They did not vote them out of office, nor did they impeach the king,march on the capitol or ask permission for their rights. ----------------They just shot them.
