Yes between sabotage and defection.
Some smart ass NK grunt thinks he can score points by going after US GI.
Yes in case of full scale invasion you were just the small warm up act.

I would have built a secret bunker.

Gee both a 45 and M16? I would not like the courier rides at all.

Nope. Stay in camp.

Can you actually kill anything with a 45?
The USAF gave flight crews 45s during the Viet Nam war.

The kids thought it was ridiculous as we knew our fathers could not hit the broad side
of a barn with a bazooka much less a 45.

And I did not think that little gun looked like it could kill anyone.
Especially a group of the enemy coming at you.

Why no civvies in the DMZ?

Sorry to hear about the prostate cancer.
It has killed so many.
One of my cousins died from his time in VN and the AO.
