A Perspective from a Diary of the Korean War

“Hi,
I am not one to often comment on reviews, but I had to share my thoughts in this instance. I was was very close with my dad’s brother. He was an US Army Korean War Veteran. He had said a few things about his experiences there but he kept a lot to himself. He saw the front in his service of machines and equipment as a heavy equipment mechanic but would always remark that it wasn’t the same as the guys who had to stay up on the front. He talked to me about Korea over the years but it was more about the friends he had made. His comment, more than once, he was drafted into the Army as an infantry soldier and just after basic training , before getting shipped to the front a Captain noticed that he had 5 years experience in private industry as a heavy equipment mechanic and asked him if he’d like to switch assignments to the engineers.” Would I, agree to change assignments?! Captain you don’t have to ask!” was his response. My uncle told me over and over he was born under a lucky star because of that one chance to be reassigned. As I got older and would ask more questions about Korea, I had a small realization that it was a tough war. He replied once to my comment about other individuals who didn’t come home and return to our little town…he said “you know I would have come home in a box too, if it wasn’t for that Captain, remember I was born under a lucky star.” I NEVER completely understood what he meant until I heard you reading this diary. I have only been able to listen in pieces. This is a tough story to hear…I am finally getting the full gravity of why my uncle was so insistent that although he was there…he was born under that lucky star to not have to endure the front lines of the Korean War. Thank you for sharing this story and thank you to all who have served and ALL who gave all!”

“First episode down and I'm subscribed, looking forward to future content. Unsurprisingly, as a first ep it's far from slick, but that doesn't detract from the content.
For additional context, I thoroughly enjoyed and value the content in Extreme Ownership, and also Jocko's...”Read full review »
