All wars are tough on civilians but both sides in Korea ended up killing civilians on purpose.Gerard Saylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00289822422163685990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404036170106001374.post-82339282854168639572009-07-13T20:56:52.630-05:002009-07-13T20:56:52.630-05:00Your mention of Taegu reminded me of something funny. I was at 5th Air Force Headquarters (Advance) in Seoul. Taegu had 5th Air Force Headquarters (Rear). We called it 5th Air Force Hindquarters.Chester Campbellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07155257451021065218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404036170106001374.post-30207228517241406392009-07-12T23:50:43.752-05:002009-07-12T23:50:43.752-05:00Mark,<br />Years ago in Fresno, CA I heard the great writer Pearl Buck speak on the subject of children who were half-American with ex-military fathers. She ran a foundation to help them. Don&#39;t know what happened to it after she died, but meeting her was the first time I was aware of what was apparently a massive problem.<br />Pat B.Pat Browninghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01890066908137298922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404036170106001374.post-18281143406685691862009-07-12T10:15:44.865-05:002009-07-12T10:15:44.865-05:00Children of war are always the biggest losers, but they don&#39;t have to be orphans to have difficult lives. There are plenty of children whose military fathers abandoned them after they served in Korea and the Phillipines. In many cases, the fathers of these children never knew their girlfriends were ever pregnant. These children adapt as best they can, but often become outcasts within their own cultures.Mark W.
