There’s a great scene in Kokoda where one of the guys
wants to stop so he can poop, he’s got dysentery and
the guy behind him on the trail takes his bayonet and
slits the guys shorts so he won’t have to stop and
as they continue on you notice that they all have slit
shorts.
Dysentery no fun, had it in Nam.
Stories like that make me glad I was in the Navy. :)
As did I...got it from eating local "produce" (I think). Went from 165 to 102 lbs. inside of three weeks.
Was two days from being sent stateside when the tide turned, the fever broke, what I ate stayed inside.
Absolute bummer....sent me right back to work!
