''"Operation 'YO-Y'" off shores and harbor of Wonsan, Korea in 1950:' "Yo-Yo" was name given to the sailings of the troop ships waiting for O K to stand in to the harbor to land marines, it's,possibly, too, soldiers of U S army-- up and down outside of the harbor--I'm not certain who(Marines, Navy ,. and/or News Correspondents??) gave the name: "Yo-Yo" to those sailings and stalling of the troop ships, all waiting the arrival of mine sweepers, and then the cleaning out of sea mines put in the Harbor by Chinese or North Korean forces. To me it's interesting that such craft were even in the Korea area- maybe from Navy Base in Yokusuka, Philippines, or,even Okinawa? I do not know which troop ship the marines had and viewed a movie- nor do I know the title of the show- films were precious to sailors and troops at sea as relieved the monotony, boredom, and maybe lots of "channel fever" or anxieties about landings and operations to come, so films were rotated or circulated from one ship to another- almost as precious and awaited as the Mail Carrying sailors, etc.( I had had the fortune of obtaining an extra duty-job as the Movie Operator at McAllister, Oklahoma NAD in late 1949 or early 1950- and one of my tasks was to take a Van or Carry-all up and over to Oklahoma City to obtain films for showing- with a long list of desired movies furnished me by the troops and officers at NAD- And I received an extra $30.00 a month for the job of movie operator!!) All of above to tell of my understanding of where the phrase "I walk away!", I think, entered in to every day usage by U S Marines after the Wonsan Operation "Yo-Yo" : One of the movies had a western scene-theme, I believe, and there was an American Native (Indian)who did not like nor care for a task, or assigned-expected to do event-job. So, he uttered the sentence: "I walk away!" , and I learned that the movie was not great and troops-sailors watching it were rather bored- but with the utterance of those words- all howled, and marines from that time for next several years would spout off; " I walk away!" when assigned or requested -ordered, or observed a task or operation to be performed would sort of shrug--being very careful not to be charged with insubordination- a worse charge was: "silent insubordination!" With that last: I, now, walk away! and I'm not singing any lyrics-song of that title- the song came much later as far as I know- after, even, "That's the way the cookie crumbles!" or "Semper Fi! I,ve got mine- you can xxxx for yours, buddy!" and Buddy had the LOVE- that is he'd die for me, and I would never say the words- might get court martialed as a homosexual- I love you- per teachings of Jesus in "The Good Book."
