The night the lights went out in N. Korea

Patrick Tuohy wrote on 2009-06-04 09:06:45.0

Comments: In late October or early November 1970 our patrol set up a night ambush on a small hill near GP Katy SW of the road to Panmunjom. It was a lightly wooded area offering a good view of open land towards N. Korea. We could clearly hear their propaganda speakers.

The NCO with us was a Sgt. Washington, who never stopped talking about all of his combat experience in Viet Nam. We decided to have some fun with him, so we set up some of our claymores behind some small trees at the base of the hill. We knew that some of the guys along the DMZ fence had stockpiled lots of tracers and planned a *mad minute" of shooting up the Z. Some of them had taken LSD. None of us had,and we were careful to have the back of the hill and some trees between us and the anticipated display.

When it got completely dark, we blew off several claymores and fired some rounds in the general direction of North Korea. The guys on the edge of the DMZ filled the air with m-60 machine gun fire and a few M-79 rounds for what seemed a whole lot more than a minute. The North Koreans turned off the propaganda and whatever lights they had on. It was a long eerie night after that. We were relieved that we weren't bombed and strafed.

We all agreed that what we had done was incredibly stupid and irresponsible. But it sure was fun. No one was punished.

About two months later I was the assistant patrol leader on an underbrush clearing detail a couple of hundred yards from the center of the DMZ. We were simply setting fires in a brushy and wooded area when the wind shifted and began blowing our now out of control fire into North Korea. We were told that we had burned up a couple of acres of N. Korea in addition to several acres of the DMZ. It was a minor international incident, I think. Then again, maybe that was the plan all along. I had less than 2 months left in the Army and was in no mood to ask questions.

I would love to hear from anyone who remembers either of these incidents.

Keywords: Made 23 patrols of DMZ. In Korea September 1970 to March 1971.
