Japanese House Boys

When I first got to Japan, we had two Japanese that worked for us in the platoon. They would pick up you laundry, do odd jobs, clean the squad bay. Needless to say it didnt take the officers long to figure that this was not Marine like, or should I Enlisted Marine like. After placing all these people on the unemployed list we had to do it the Marine Way, by grunts. At the time Japan was a poor nation and I wondered why we didnt help by keeping at least a few people employed. I guess they figured that most of us would spend all of our pay in the Japanese economy anyway. More money for the bars.
