He said it had something to do with Vietnamese religious beliefs ... something about not being able to "move on" without your noggin. Don't have a bloody clue whether that was accurate or not, but he did say that wherever these South Korean tanks went, it was like the parting of the Red Sea ... armed resistance just melted away until they left the area. Of course, the NVA and Viet Cong didn't want to engage any massed armor units, as a general matter ... not good odds for them at all.

I had seen some of that B. Kinda spooky looking and just my opinion that it should not have been permitted to happen. Emotions do run high when you are in a life and death fight and the Cong were just barbaric as well.

They mostly picked on defenseless farmers and villagers because they could not fight back.

Problem with the S Koreans always is that they really can't can't defend themselves very well and always need help so I guess they took advantage of having us there which made them feel braver to commit atrocities like that...
