I worked for 20 years with a man who was one of the "Chosin Few," and his stories told of the brutality of that conflict. He said a pocket full of Tootsie Rolls was his only food for days on the march. The oil in his M1 froze so, as an 18 year old man, he was forced to fight with his K-Bar knife. His first year back, he had 13 jobs because he wouldn't take any crap from his bosses.
