The air power we have is unparalleled, but to counter this the North has placed literaly hundreds of sabotures in the South . . .

A point that can only be truly appreciated by someone who has been to our bases in South Korea. Especially at Osan, dense thickets of houses and shacks are built up right to the fence. It is an open secret that these places are or will be infested with North Korean sappers and saboteurs from the first shot on.

Perimeter and base security cannot be a pleasant or easy job in Korea.

When I was working with the ROK Airborne, a police captain shot and killed a N. Korean agent just outside the gate. The moron had gone into a little tobacco shop and asked for a brand of cigarrettes sold only in North Korea!!!

Moral: Smoking can be dangerous to your health!

We had a major who wanted some pictures of the base at Osan, and was wandering around with his camera taking pictures when a SK MP patrol drove up. They told him to come with them, which he ignored, so the jumped him, pinned him to the runway, and locked him up. They definitely don't play around.
