Sooo, he got caught half-dressed by an enemy attack...
Sooo, he washed his whites w/the red shirt...
Sure he did. 
KIDDING- I have utmost respect for all members of our armed forces, but that simply begs a bit of ribbing.

Cut to a clip of him in Vietnam wearing a clown costume (with everyone else in fatigues). He says "You guys are stupid. They're gonna be looking for Army guys"

I had a friend who was helicoptered into an extremely hot LZ while drunk, high, wearing nothing but his shorts, carrying an M-60 GPMG and about twenty rounds of ammo. He was shot nine times and woke up in a hospital in Japan.
War is rarely like they teach it in schoolbooks.

War is rarely like they teach it in schoolbooks. | Wow.
BTW all I learned about war from school books was:"We won".
I'm pretty sure its almost the same in all other schools across the world.

See if your library has it.
Even in the "schoolbook" version, this episode is generally regarded as the most horrible moment in US military history, when a handful of starving Marines held open an escape route from the Chosin Reservoir in the face of attacks from some 600,000 Chinese troops -- with temperatures under forty degrees below zero in gale-force winds.
The truth was much worse. These were for the most part not "battle-hardened veteran Marines," but mostly teenage kids who had never been to boot camp or otherwise trained. They'd been in High School Marine "cadet" programs or had enlisted in the inactive reserves and were scooped up in desperate -- and often illegal -- emergency activations by the USMC to fill troop requirements when the Korean War went badly wrong for the second time. They were shipped out untrained and did their learning on the transport ships and in the field.
Ghastly story, as nightmarish as any from any war.
When they escaped to the coast they were evacuated by sea. An uncle of mine was one of the Navy LCT coxswains who took them out. The coxswains were issued big bottles of rye whiskey to drink to keep from freezing to death while running these craft to the shore in this horrific weather.

War is rarely like they teach it in schoolbooks. | Sounds like he forgot one of the major rules of battle. If the enemy is within your range, you are within his.

I was already teaching IT and Electronic Engineering but wanted to have the otion since I enjoy history and there was a possibility of a tenured position coming open in that department.
One coure I decided to tak way "History of the Vietnam War" First day of the class, the professor hands out the text books and I open mine to find my face (considerably younger, but still my face) in a photo. I was wading out of the surf with three or four other young GI's. I didn't even know this photo had ever been published. I do remember when it was taken tho'. We had actually been helicoptered in just north of Hoi in '72 as replacements for the guys who were rotating out. It was actually the day before when we had been lifted in from the JFK. Well, as usual, the reporters were a day late and a dollar short. So they had us reinact coming ashore. The Battalion Commander wanted nothing to do with calling in a huey for a photo op, so the photog had us wade out in the water on a beach and 'act" like we were invading the country for the first time. In actuality, it was pretty quiet in I corp at the time, at least close to the shore. All the action was in the interior, A Shou Valley, Ka Tau Lao etc...(spelling there and I sure don't want to look it up)
I pointed it out to the teacher and asked him, "If your picture is in the text book, do you automatically get an A?"
I did get an A, but I don't think it was for that reason.
Anyway, as a vet, I want to thank everyone for the respect you pay me and all the other vets out there.
