The few who try to visit him are kept out by the Ministry of Health's pettifogging rules...
...companies swarmed over the small U.S. garrison. Militarily, the hill was of small importance; morally, it had immense significance. By taking it, the Communists posed two questions that were crucial to the course of the peace talks at Panmunjom: 1) Was the U.S. high command, with a war-weary public at its back, still willing to incur large casualties merely to hold a little ground? 2) Was the U.S. infantryman, his morale weakened by a Congress-coddling rotation policy that moved him out of the line before he had learned to do his job or love his unit, still able...
