I thought hollow points were a violation of the Geneva Convention?
My dad didn’t get over to Korea until it had already started. ‘51, I think. He used to get kinda mad when he heard the TV or someone call it the Korean War. He said he never saw one Korean...they were all damn Chinese.
If I were using an M1 today I would get the 110 grain round. As for the Geneva convention we didn’t sign this part of the agreement but have abide by it.
My uncle saw lots of Norks over there. Fought in several battles, one being Taejon and saw General Dean right before the battle started. Dean got captured in that battle. He was on a mortar team but did a lot of fighting in the early part of the war with his M1 and hand to hand combat. He talks about finally getting some bazookas which would knock the Norks tanks out and stopping them at Pusan.
He ended up going through Pyongyang and he said it didn’t look anything like it does now, they tore it all to hell. Finally made it to the Yalu and stopped on a ridge overlooking it. Heard his colonel tell the officers don’t go into the town below this late in the day, this is a better defensive position stay put here for tonight and set up defensive positions before dark. The Chinese hit them that night, had they went into the town they would have been slaughtered.
