I note that the American leaflets dropped during the Korean war are not listed. I worked in S. Korea very close to the guys responsible for this and was asked by a pal if I wanted to fly with him and help dump leaflets. You mean, I asked, you fly real low and shove the stuff out? Yes. No thanks, I said....I didn't believe in fucking with the minds of the enemy, I offered as an excuse.
