Ned Almond, the X Corps commander was quoted as saying"

"The enemy who is attacking you is nothing more than some remnants of Chinese divisions fleeing north. We are still attacking and we're going all the way to the Yalu. Don't let a bunch of Chinese laundrymen stop you."

I don't which commander told him he was being attacked by laundrymen but it should be one of the greates lines of the war, IMHO.

Since it was Task Force Smith that was engaged at Unsan I wonder if it was LTC Charles B. Smith who said that?

Now that you mention Almond's name, I think that I may have mixed the two incidences.
