This last reference is absurd and ridiculous. The comment that "Americans stationed in Japan post-World War II..." were somehow there because of "...their closeness to McArthur" [sic]is stupid in the extreme, even if one can decipher what the writer means by such nonsense. Further adding to his insanity, the writer claims that only the "poorest class soldiers were stationed here(at Camp Wood.)" as if the Army somehow carefully culls the skills and abilities of infantrymen and then upon doing so, sends only the worst dregs of riflemen in a position to fight our wars. On July 5th, 1950, 420 men and officers from Camp Wood held off an entire North Korean armor and infantry division in the hills surrounding the town of Osan, Korea until overwhelmed by hordes of enemy soldiers. Their action that day allowed reinforcements to arrive until United Nations forces could turn the tide a few months later.

I agree. "Americans stationed in Japan post-World War II were rated by ability in their closeness to MacArthur." This doesn't make any sense. I see the words, but not how they go together. Does "MacArthur" mean the general himself? David10244 (talk) 18:03, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

gyroscoped

The article contains the sentence, "In 1955, the 187th gyroscoped back to Fort Bragg, NC." I don't see the word gyroscoped as a verb in any dictionary, nor do I know what it means. Does anyone know what it means? Mark (talk) 03:01, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
