Mashed Potatoes in My Salad
Mishmash My After-Mash Experiences
A Pictorial Memoir
Richard (Dick) Kahn
A Synopsis
Mishmash has a review of why the United States intervened in the "Korean Conflict" emphasizing college deferments, occupation duty and overall military service.
I describe how the Korean people lived in the countryside, in peacetime, in a postwar country. The period of acclimation and assignment from the 21st Medical Regiment to Able Company at the D.M.Z. depicts many experiences with the military and the Korean people.
Able Company was the first line of defense in case of a North Korean attack. The military setup, with my medical responsibilities and situations are explained. My first R and R in February 1956 was in Tokyo. There were training activities leading up to Able Company's relocation south of the DMZ. At that time I volunteered for permanent guard duty at the 21st Medical Company. I write about the prevalence of prostitution, revealing my personal experiences.
April and July 1956 I went on two Religious Retreats to Japan. September 1956 religious services were arranged for the Jewish Holidays at the 8th Army Headquarters.
For my final R and R, in November, my companion arranged for me to stay with a Japanese family followed by touring Niko National Park. Traveling home on emergency leave was quite an episode!
