I swear, I'll keep up with this one. :marseyangel:

Some American (Ridgway probably) wrote that the South Koreans panicked when the enemy tanks arrived. But he'd seen Americans do the same thing. That's what everyone does when they're faced with tanks and they have nothing to fight them with.

At this point I think the only antitank weapons they have are mines (maybe?), those few 105mm howitzers, and poking logs into them or something. Somebody made a big fricking mistake when the Americans were leaving and they decided not to leave antitank weapons.

Basic butt RPG meant to kill Panzers 3s in 1940 didn't work against T34-85s and above in 1950. Shocking.
