Those in combat areas and the war zone in general were paid in script, a substitute for cash that could be readily exchanged on military posts for goods and services. It wasn't supposed to be used to purchase goods on the open market, though it often was. It was an attempt to limit blackmarket activities and other less healthy types of recreation by the troops.

Why did the military pay Korean soldiers in scriptt?

I never heard of korean soldiers being paid in US script......in 1951 US scrip (not script) was used in the Korean War to pay soldiers, and it was the currency at the bases. I know this because my father was a clerk for the first month of his service there and would run between 75,000 to 100,000 dollars worth of scrip from his base to an Air Force Base. From there it would be eventually transferred to Japan and back to the States.


How much did the black soldiers get paid in Vietnam war?

fifty percent -- White soldiers were paid $13 per month while black soldiers were paid $10 with a $3 deduction for clothing, resulting in a net pay of $7. To answer your question, then; black soldiers were paid $6 dollars less than white soldiers, almost half as much. This was ended with the equal pay act passed by Congress in June, 1864 where it was stipulated that black soldiers would receive the same pay, supplies, etc. as white soldiers.
