My father a W2 pilot who stayed in and was still a P-51/A-51 pilot when the balloon went up. He actually flew air suppression cover on this mission. He brought his aircraft home bent and with a bunch of holes in her, he said that he only kept it in the air because he would rather die than piss off the Crew chief. Dad always said he was half magician and half monster and that was what kept his aircraft in the sky because even it was scared of letting him down or damaging his aircraft.
Pretty cool. My Uncle was a WWII P51 fighter pilot who stayed in and flew P51’s in Korea. He retired as a Colonel (Colonel Kenneth Young) and went on to be the Vice President of Dillard Paper in South Carolina. He passed away in the late 90’s. Almost all of these badass WWII veterans have left us now. We can only remember their bravery and honor their service.
I have the cruise book from the USS Philippine Sea during that raid. My dad and 2 uncles were on her during that time (my 2 uncles were introduced to my aunts by my dad, thier brother.) Never think much about it since both my dad and I are just pieces in 250 years of family military service. But I have heard the stories a dozen times growing up. Especially when the 3 of them would get together and pull the male kids aside to tell them what they did and what was expected. And it was never I did this. It was "you know what your uncle did?"

That situation is far more political than it is a repercussion of any kind.

Okay, it's an important battle from the Korean War. But I'm missing the part where this risked escalating into World War 3. Wasn't worry about USSR and China getting involved something that we were worried about for that whole war?
I think the fear was that destroying a major industrial target so close to China, that China also relied heavily on, would result in the proxy war devolving into a full scale war between the U.S. and China - subsequently dragging all of their allies into the war as well.

And then MacArthur tried to deny the Medal of Honor to General Jonathan Wainwright. He led the troops after MacArthur fled. He was the highest ranking American POW in the Pacific. He was starved while in captivity and his health was broken. He was nominated for the Medal of Honor early in his captivity, in 1942. But his nominated was rejected due to the vocal and strident opposition of General MacArthur, who felt that Corregidor should not have been surrendered.

You forget, the Iranians after operation praying mantis shot missiles that they had so far denied having, firing on American ships. Reagan, at the time, convinced the Iranians to label the attack as an accident and was officially swept under the rug.
So . . . was the attack even intended to breach the dams? Because, if it was, they failed to learn the lessons from the raid in May 1943 on the dams in western Germany.
Sorry but you don’t get into a shooting war and then not decimate the enemies will to fight. You destroy their power, water, industry, transportation (particularly bridges), and then you leave them to worry about fighting back from the Stone Age you sent them to. Unlike rebuilding like the idiots in charge of this country tend to do. Japan post WWII & not destroying Saddam’s retreating forces in Desert Storm for just two instances of idiocy by political idiots making decisions.
"The attack was a masterstroke of military strategy. A blend of audacity, precision and execution." Goodness, you had a little wargasm there, didn't you?
This goes to show that if you want war and more of it along with thousands of deaths if not millions, mess with the animals and non combatting citizens and I guarantee you that it's gonna ramp up especially if it is some country of big enough forces to get the feet on the ground that it would take to get you to have to get your boots on the ground up in the face of your resolute enemy to try and stop him. Great afternoon to you all and God bless.
The U.S. hasn't won a war since 1945. The Taliban kicked our butts out of Afghanistan using simple, relatively primitive weapons. Our military can't win against a modern military force on the battlefield. We're equipped and trained to fight against a guerrilla force and counterinsurgency. Russia will defeat us on the ground in a non-nuclear engagement.
We had the world's largest and most powerful army, russia wasn't even half of what they say they were north korea didn't have any missiles China didn't have any missiles The only difference now is equipment that we'd didn't have back then we have Missiles bombs that could destroy the world back then. There's no difference. The only difference Man Had more balls back then. We just let everybody catch up. That was part of the plan. These globalists don't want peace.

It’s not “communism vs capitalism”. Capitalism is a socialist term. The paradigm is communism vs freedom. The communists themselves acknowledged that. “Have not fascism in Italy, and National Socialism in Germany, attained similar results as the USSR? Have not both been achieved at the price and privation and personal liberty sacrificed for the good of the state?” - Stalin

Yeah MacArthur was definitely on to something
@@rsears78he was an ass, but he was right about china and Russia. So was Patton.
I really love the red Clickbait arrows. It shown how much you’ve grown as a channel. It’s very unfortunate. Another video I won’t be watching. I am so sick of Clickbait arrows.
Mark Clarke aggressive???
It is hard to believe. Maybe he started eating his Wheaties.
Stugot
Pretty sure a ton of people know about this. But ur title worked heres your interaction 😂
MacArthur was right
WW3 can start at several hotspots: Taiwan, Kashmir....
25th
hang on,, attacking a dam, isnt that a warcrime?
Remarkable that you do not even bother to estimate Korean Civillian Deaths in this bombing of dams and electricity supply
If you had a head on your shoulders at that moment, you would have ended the communists in China.
woulda, coulda, shoulda, wish I hada
It’s not “communism vs capitalism”. Capitalism is a socialist term. The paradigm is communism vs freedom. The communists themselves acknowledged that.
“Have not fascism in Italy, and National Socialism in Germany, attained similar results as the USSR? Have not both been achieved at the price and privation and personal liberty sacrificed for the good of the state?” - Stalin
and what about all the civilian deaths america
Last
all this for a little land called korea
Wonderful people.
I served there, extended a second year. The work ethic is phenonmenal. And they did their part, with one of the world's largest standing armies.
Yes. A land of people hoping for more. Nothing wrong with helping them.
You have a video of a Corsair dropping Napalm bomb on which some sort of a Gorge I seen that in every shot from Black Sheep Squadron to now and is anybody know where that took place
Not exactly sure, but the F-4U took off and dropped napalm so close to airfield it didn't even put-up landing gear before attacking.
@@Rigidflex17 I wonder if they had to slow down to stall speed or something for that spot?
Why do you assume I did not know about this? Your titles are assumptions and disrespectful.
Damn commies...
you speak too fast...
Great story. Pictures not so much. MacArthur going ashore with the Ptesudeny of the Philippines, talking about Chinese and showing emperor of Japan. Picture of USS Shangri-la instead of deployed carriers etc.
It wasn't a battle between communism and capitalism. It was a battle between communism and freedom.
It's a huge distinction.
