The Koreans are kind of like your dad when you were making too much noise upstairs, "You want me to come up there?"

I worked with the Tiger Division around Qui Nhon in 67 and would not have believed some of the things they did unless I had seen them.

I was sitting two miles off-shore when they landed at Qui Nhon, when they made their amphibious landing there. Impressive.

Concur. They had a real certain way of making certain that at least one of the guards in their two-man listening posts was awake. At least one such post a night would get a live grenade tossed into it by their sergeant or officer of the guard. So long as one was awake, grabbed the thing with two or three seconds left to go, and tossed it out into the barbed wire-covered killing zone they were watching, no problem. And if both were asleep, it wouldn't be a problem again.
