I worked with the Aussies in Nam and between the Aussies and the ROKS from Korea, a Marine could not have a better friend. They sure had pretty nurses too. LOL
And the R&R in Sydney was the BEST!

And those ROKs are some tough SOB's aren't they? I had a buddy that ended up in the same in-country hospital ward as a group of them when he served a tour over there. He said they wanted to fight so badly that they would beat the crap out of each other just to stay toughened up for when they got out of the hospital.
I questioned how much he had enhanced his story - until the first time I worked with some of them. The ones I dealt with reminded me of an Asian version of the Tasmanian Devil from the Warner Bros. cartoons. Tough as HE77 and would obliterate just about anything that stood in their way...
