Re: OT NNG Thanks for serving to my fellow vets.

I never got shot at, but my primary active-duty job would have been as a 'fire brigade' support role for a heavy mechanized brigade to get to Korea from CONUS to shore up the defenses around the 2nd Infantry Division HQ's AO. We knew exactly where our defensive positions were to be, and what are war role would be... To basically hold in place until we were overrun. In other words, go and die in place unless the North Koreans were able to be stopped before then, which was unlikely if they'd manage to get across the DMZ at all.
If things had gone badly in Korea at that time, we all fully expected to never be coming home, as they do have nukes (and did, then, too), and chemical weapons that I knew we didn't have enough chemical suits to survive long-term exposure from. Still, we would have gone, if called. Make no mistake of that.
Seems like another lifetime ago, now...
