Military keyword > shooting > This guys was the ranking NCO on Bayonne. What he is carring is a pellet gun. He was shooting kids. Yep! Kids! Way back down in the valley below are villages and they knew we are up here playing war games. You could just about count on it every day after school let out or all day on weekends the kids would head up the mountains and mess with the G.I's. All the roads around Bayonne are posted with signs in many languages and graphics with skull and crossbones. The message was simple the place was off limits or you may die. In this case if you're a kid you might get tagged with a pellet. It turned into a game of cat and mouse with the kids. They would try and see how close they could get before getting shot. Damn! I sure wouldn't want to get tagged with a pellet gun. Across the country that year during that joint military exercise in the late summer of '69 it was said that over 30 people were shot or killed getting too close to guarded military compounds. People were jumpy because the north had sent down suicide squads to mix things up a bit. It was usually the south Korean civilian that got too close and got wacked.
