Been to an ROC FSB ONCE...nasty place with the same philosophy
Just think what they would do to that SF NCO in this war..
Look what they did to a couple lower ranking EMs..reservists no less..just for putting female's skivvies on a couple of deserving tangos cabasas...
Yes, you are right. They would've keelhauled him and locked him away under Leavenworth or worse.
I heard one yarn on the ROC's that were based around DaNang. As the story went, there was so little enemy activity around Da Nang that the US gov't threatened to withdraw the combat pay of troops stationed there. Supposedly, the ROCs were told about this dastardly deed the gub'mint boys were about to do, so they went up on Marble Mountain and mortared the US base. The US troops kept their combat pay. I never had any contact with the ROCs but heard more than a few times that they were vicious yet effective fighters, that they were not to be messed with.
