Nice read, Sam. That young sailor had a knack for narrative description.
Amazing how fast Korea went from triumphal victory to fighting for our lives against the Chinese Reds.
Nothing wrong with Starbucks, snippy. I like French Roast brewed strong. (No flames, please, French Roast does not come from France. Maybe it should be called Freedom Roast.)

Nothing wrong with Starbucks, snippy.It's a nice indulgence, other times I'm just drinking Maxwell House or Folgers, which ever is cheapest at the time. ;)

If it weren't for the Chinese intervention North Korea was finished. I always wondered if MacArthur hadn't pushed to the Yalu River, which the Chinese felt was a threat to them, if they would have come in?
