The world is sending us a message. We’re all “girlymen” to them now. We’re getting ready to get our asses kicked. Thanks Barry!!!

Weird. I felt safe at any time, night or day, in Seoul or elsewhere and back then it was a semi-third-world country. Safer than here.

1965-66 ... drunker'n JIT ... stumbling "home" to the 51st .... picked up by a taxi of some sort and dropped off at the gate ... woke up stinkin' of puke in my bunk and all my wallet, money and et cetera still there

Last thing I remember was drinkin' BangYang whiskey in a bar with a whore

I NEVER felt insecure or threatened .... actually, I think the South Koreans still had some respectful love for us GI's at that time

Mrs. Puppage said almost the same thing this evening. No one fears us.....it’s open season on America.

"Aww dangit.. I looked up ambassador and not envoy...sorry."

Well, of course they're not the same thing at all!

Ambassadors were full-size cars built by American Motors up until 1974. And Envoys are SUVs built by GMC...

” No one fears us.....it’s open season on America.”

And Obama leads the way, in all respects.

HOLY SHIT !!!!

the gate (guard) on the right (unseen)

Motor pool WAS waaay off in the distance where those two black poles are

We formed up for reveille in front of those three white poles .... but I don't remember them being there ... just one ... kind'a old thing

I actually loved Korea ... I was 17

Bravo company across the street ... a microwave unit

I think we had a company of your battalion across the street from my barracks at Red Cloud. My best friend from my 1978-79 tour was one of them. He was a crazy Ohioan from Xenia. I looked up your battalion crest and that’s what was on their sign. I was with I Corps G-2 in that bunker above the camp.

Ya know, American men have often been viewed as “frontier men” or “a man’s man”. Who thinks that way anymore? When you say American, the first thought that comes to you is now “Pajama Boy”

I can't tell you how much I appreciate that photo

Over the years, two fires and some moving mis-steps ... I have nothing of my past

Those guys ain't me, but that IS my company

Thank you .... been staring at it for a half an hour
