[Bob Seijas]

That was the only thing that bothered Hector Cafferata about the night he took out 200 Chinese attackers on Fox Hill... Hector was 6'2" and weighed 220 lbs, the enemy were young and very small, looked like kids to him. He got over that, but it initially got to him.

the enemy were young and very small

Probably felt like he'd gone amongst a boys public school group...with guns... And they had attacked a giant.
