LOPBURI, Thailand (AP) — A Thai town, run ragged by its ever-growing population of marauding wild monkeys, launched an offensive against the simian raiders on Friday, using trickery and ripe tropical fruit.

Our little office kept the KC-135 squadron up-to-date with their crypto codes while TDY at Korat. Their primary mission was still support of the bomber forces in case an Emergency War Order (EWO) was issued. I think maybe we had 8 or 10 aircraft.

My Dad told me when he was in the Philippines in WWII, one morning in camp everyone was prepared for inspection. When the CO showed up, by then the monkeys had gone inside everyone’s tents and trashed them.
Lot of pissed off GIs….
