23Beginning of Chapter 12 Sacrificial Lamb of the
Cold War
"Americans are half-ape, half-human and have long
thick hair all over their body, yes, even their
women grow hair all over their body, just like
female dogs. Their body order is unbelievably
foul and make you sick. They have huge sex organs
about the size of a bang-chi and copulate with
anybody, men and women, including their own
mother and kids. We should not let these animals
in our town and defend Japan to death." My
Japanese school principal, Kapsan, Korea, 1945
My First American Encounter As the US 1st Marine
Division moved to Hamhung from Wonsan and the ROK
I Corps moved out on October 24, 1950, I saw US
soldiers for the first time. One day I was
playing in the street in front of my house when I
spotted two strange looking figures coming over
the hilltop. We stopped playing and watched the
two strangers with some apprehension. We
anticipated some sort of dramatic meeting. Well,
to my disappointment, there were no uplifting
words, no ruffles and flourishes. Apparently
unaware of the peeping eyes focused upon them,
those two pulled down their pants, squatted down
and relieved themselves. Thus, my very first
sight of the Americans was earthy. Up to this
moment, my knowledge of America was based on what
the Japanese taught
