Code Name “Tootsie Rolls”: Soldier Candy Rations | Iowans in Korea

War is a serious endeavor, but sometimes lines of communications get crossed. Dennis Dorman, U.S. Army Korean 1950-1951, explains what happened when a U.S. officer stationed in Japan misunderstood the phrase “tootsie rolls” in regards to supplies and rations for the men fighting on the front lines during the Korean War.
