I have an old friend who fought it in the Korean War and he was telling me about all the stuff they used to do. Like pretending to be totally ignorant about stuff. Ex. not knowing how to clean his shoes, so the sergent would show him for hours every day on how to do it, even though he knew.
He told me wonderful story about how when they were done serving the slop, they would bury it in a hole. Well there was an orphanage with starving children not too far where the camp was located. Well him and a buddy "borrowed" the truck, dug up the dirty slop, and gave it to the poor kids. They were very grateful, they continued to save the slop, without putting it in the hole. He said when they came with the truck daily, the kids were like kids on Christmas morning. Well eventally the army found out, and he got in trouble for "stealing" from the government. They yelled at him good and his buddy, could have gotten thrown out, but nothing major happened, other than being put on detail. There was a priest in there group, and he told him about the starving kids, and how the governmet wouldn't allowe them to feed them anymore. Well the priest said something about going against the army in respect for human values, and so it was okayed then(secretly of course), the preist handled it from then on.I just love this story
