      USA n south korea make a very big mistake in Korean war.. first North Korea attack south korea n captured 75 % of south korea,. after that UN force led by US push back North Korea... captured full North Korea that time UN force must stay north korea but UN force push back to must near china border..that was big mistake..if UN force didn't push back n cross China border than china will never involved in war.. because in WW II china and USA fight against Japan army... USA helped China n was saved from Japan.

He was born June 18, 1929, meaning he's a part of the Silent Generation and would be 92 years old if he were still alive (RIP 2015). Ignoring the timeline, he is the only surviving member of his family from the Holocaust. Did you also forget it took him years to learn English to even enter the Korean War of 1945? How tf would his "grandfather" be able to TYPE in almost perfect modern American English? People from different time periods also speak a certain way, that speech may seem old to a Gen Z or Gen Alpha, but it's basic Gen X/Mellennial speaking patterns and pretty modern

At the same luncheon, I also met the man who drove his tank thru the gate of the concentration camp and freed Tibor and the other prisoners, Tom Gibbons. Two amazing American Hero's.

He got lucky was a replacement for the men who fought in the chosin reservoir, but he participated in battles like battle of hwacheon (where he was injured in combat) and in the battle of punch bowl before coming home (he was transferred to a new unit when recovering in Okinawa).

      Now you tell me why didn't the other Private, Specialist,Sgt. Staff Sgt, and up get any medals ....
      It brought morale down so bad...
      And they knew why it did !
      But all those Soliders would've been there with those Officers , but Here's real kick in the ⚾️⚾️ some of these So Called Officers Didn't even go outside the wire they just wanted there Medals to Boost up there career-oriented it came to Rank etc. I've never seen a more Blatant outright Bunch 🐂💩💩 in my Life !

And he wouldn't sign off on separate rations so I could buy kosher food and not eat in the chow hall, which was not kosher.

      Try to remember that not all kids feel that way about America , there’s no such thing as blue states, only blue cities - that want to tell the rest of America how to live. Most children’s worst trait is not appreciating how good they have it here because they don’t know any different. But let’s thank god that they don’t, and be grateful that our children don’t have to live under true tyranny.

      Bush presenting a medal of Honor to a person that deserved more medals while he didn't fulfill his own duties and was actually honorably discharged even though he wasn't present for his required training, for a medical physical to remain an active pilot. He was given preferential treatment from the get go even though people denied it. It was a disgrace for him to be allowed to present medals to real heroes.
