Great history site!
Thank you for the history website. Everyone has their own personal experience and I have a very limited perspective due to my own experience. It is very interesting to me to see how the brass apparently viewed things, as compared to the field perspective. Opinions expressed about the ROK Marines have merit, but they do reflect a "back in the rear" view, based on my experience as an ANGLICO Marine attached to ROK Marines 04OCT67 - 24OCT68.
I am enjoying this website very much and appreciate the education. Thanks for the heads up!
