Nightmares of a Korean War Veteran - 1999

- Here's a video I produced/edited back in 1999 for a special honoring the 50th Anniversary of the Korean War. Please ignore the cheesy fog machine stand-up. :) I was a young Marine combat correspondent still finding his way.
It really bothers me how little the general public knows about the Korean War.
What they achieved to push the North Korean/Chinese back was a great feat. American soldiers in Korea deserve more respect. Truman could have nuked North Korea and ended the conflict for good.
🇺🇸 🍺🇰🇷
The more you learn about it the more disturbing it is.
@@isaacsilverman9976please tell me what my grandpa did and seen he was infantry man in korea war he served 3 years 1950-1953 joined at 17
Join the Marines. There's nobody there that doesn’t know about it. Fun story, when the army retreated, we recovered their tanks, apc, artillery pieces. Eventually they found their way to a few Marine ranges. We told the army they are welcome to come get them. Of course they are on live ranges. They decided we could keep them. Theres still rusted parts of them to this day😂
My dad fought in Korea, when they came back no one was there to say thank you. The dock was empty. Broke my heart to hear that.
imagine thinking the korean war was a valiant war lmao
@@kewpiekewpiekewpie You're too stupid to insult.
My dad to but he ended up doing drugs and drinking same as my uncle because of PTSD
@@kewpiekewpiekewpieIt was a complex war for sure, and a dirty one. But without UN/US intervention then the oppressive regime of Kim-Il Sung wouldve covered the entire peninsula
My dad was there, 1952-1954. He was only 21 years old. He came back diff and his family saw the changes. My dad had night terrors and was an angry man. I wish he told us more about it but he never did.
My great uncle was in this war and he’s still alive and well as ever. He’s 95 and he remembers everything. But ever since his brother died he doesn’t like taking about the war.
If possible stress the importance of his stories to him. Set up questions to ask him and record it. Your great great grandkids will be able to hear the stories as he experienced it. I wish I could have done this for my grandfather. Just a thought.
He still alive?
@@andrewwebb-trezzi2422please give me a list of questions to ask my grandpa that won’t trigger ptsd he served in Korea for 3 years at 17 years old as an infantry man
@@007Nox Well I’d start off by telling him how much you respect and love him. Then ask if you would be able to sit down and document his life for posterity, not just his time in the war but rather his entire life. There are likely just as many stories from his childhood and even later years that would probably surprise you, this will also allow him to feel more comfortable knowing you don’t just want to hear war stories. I’d ask him these sorts of things
1. Ask what his parents and grandparents names were if he knows them.
2. Where and when he was born.
3. What his childhood was like growing up
4. Ask for a good story or two from his youth (shenanigans, parties, dates, etc)
5. Ask him when the Korean conflict broke out does he remember where he was?
6. Did he enlist or was he drafted? If he enlisted further this up by asking him what made him want to enlist. If he was drafted ask him how he felt when he got his notice.
7. Ask him about boot camp and his drill instructors.
8. If you have photos of him with other soldiers perhaps ask him about the friends he made and who they were
9. Ask him what infantry division and regiment he served in.
10. Ask him what his thoughts were when he first landed in Korea
11. Ask him if he is comfortable discussing a bit of his combat experience, and if not don’t push him. If he is, don’t ask him about killed friends. Perhaps ask him to give you a situation or two where he was under fire and the feelings he had being shot at and having to shoot back for the first time. And perhaps any other good or fun stories from his time in Korea because I’m sure there were a few despite how bad it was
12. Ask him about his return back to the states and his first day back with family.
13. Ask him what he did after the war. (Jobs, wife, house, moving around, having a family, etc.
I am the grandson of a Korean War Veteran. My grandfather served in the Marines . A wonderful man fantastic human. He loved his family and friends. I was blessed to have him come home .semper fi peepop
My dad was in the Korean war , we did not get along, my mom divorced him, he was an alcoholic, I did not speak to him for 30 years , one day I passed him in the grocery aisle and as I prepared myself to say hi , he did not recognize me and walked right by , he died 14 years ago. I'm sorry , I dont know why I felt to comment. I guess its bothered me my whole life.
It bothers you because you've held it in so long, let it out brother, talk about it with some not just through a screen but face to face you will find peace
Sounds like my great grandad. He came back from korea a butally mean drunk. He really messed my grandad up mentally, who then took it out on my dad, who is now hard on me but not near as bad because he can see the pattern. War Is Hell and it affects everyone.
@@GHOST-be3ulhey man I hear you. My grandpa was in Korea. All athlete. Never shot a squirrel. Gonna play qb at a D1 school. Ended up a flame thrower.
Mean drunk. Was awful to my grandma, aunts and uncles. My mom got out, being oldest.
It has affected generations of my family; I asked once about the war and it was a quick don’t ask about it from him. I was ashamed of myself.
Sorry for all of you guys. I am. I had no idea how bad Korea was.
Back in the '70s, my 10th grade biology teacher was a Korean War vet. I'm sorry I never asked Mr. Lamont if he was ok. He was a good guy and a great American.
My grandpa was in the navy during the korean war
Well its just like my sgt told us before one trip on into the jungle "MEN! 50 of you are goin on a mission 25 of ya aint comin back"
We had a science teacher at bucktail hs...He spoke on it rarely...was wounded too..jay young 🇺🇸 🇰🇷
”And a great american” c’mon grow up
@@jejh600 dafuqs wrong with you
when I couch surfed in usa , there were old couples. and they greeted me like a son. and he asked my nationality, so I answered South Korea .when he just listened my word , he was just crying over 5minutes in a row. I was so embarrassed something wrong, but actually that was joy and happiness of tears.old couples have cut with culture after war, and I was the first Korean boy he was seen after war. we had a long story night and later morning when I move on I saluted to him with full of my respect from bottom of my heart. I can't forget his smile. since the morning I love usa
Amen!
It means a lot to me to hear these old stories. My grandfather was a Korean vet and succumbed to his ptsd when my father was just a boy.
Korean veterans need to take a trip to South Korea and see what a beautiful place their sacrifice made possible. As a Vietnam Vet, I can only look at horror at what the politicians made happen to our sacrifice. But Korea is a great place filled with happy, hard working people. You guys did good.
You fulfilled your duty just the same, it is not the fault of you or your brothers in arms that politicians wanted to play high-stakes poker with the lives of young American men. Thank you for what you did, we can never repay you for the sacrifices you made for our country.
@King Croc World War I was definitely not worth it. No evil dictatorship needed to be vanquished in 1914, and the world didn't need to be saved. It was simply a matter of empires wanting to test out the new toys on each other, and a whole generation of Europeans paid for it. World War I was an absolute waste
@@NickTasy 5 months later. But it lead to America being a dominant power
And for the next generation being ready for ww2
@@lattrelbia2527 ya got a point
@@NickTasy Some of the central powers were pretty dang evil, particularly the German Empire. WW1 was basically a waste, but some of these empires were bloodthirsty and needed to be stopped.
My grandfather was a Korean vet.. He was tank battalion over there… and when he came home he was never the same… my grandma would have to stand across the room and take a small ball and throw it just enough that it would barely touch my grandpa while he was asleep to wake him up cause he had to sleep alone cause he would come up out of his sleep fighting ready to hurt what ever touched him.. It took him years to be able to be some what normal again… but what ever he did go through over there he never spoke of to anyone in the family.. It was a burden he carried alone the rest of his life.
My daddy was a combat medic in the Korean War. I have his brass medic pin, and his uniforms, helmet, and his American flag that was given to us at his Military service in 2019. He lived to be 82. Didn’t watch anything pertaining to any war on tv. In his later years, he opened up and had every detail about his experience remembered and shared a lot of stories. It breaks my heart that he lived in a “ frozen hell foxhole for 9 months’ and stood watch like his fellow soldiers. I miss him so much, but he made it home. He first served in the Navy then the Army. Richard E Paschal E-4, US Army Combat Medic. I think he was there in 1952-1953. Just a baby. Rest easy daddy.
My grandfather was a Korean war veteran growing up hearing him at night screaming the nightmares from the war were bad for him he was an infantry paratrooper he told me about one nightmare he had about taking a bayonet from a Korean soldier it was scary just hearing about it those men went through Hell as do all soldiers thank your veterans thank you all for your service and for keeping us safe and free God bless you all
Grandad was in Korea. He was in 1952. I never knew he saw combat till 9 months before his death. He was diagnosed with liver cancer. He drank for decades never speaking the war. The stranger thing was that none of my family knew he drank ever. He opened up a little. If you got vets in your family always check on them. Do what you can to help.
Man same here … exact same thing almost my grandpa joined at 17, 1950 served till 53, 3 years in Korea not until recently when I moved in with them I found out that my grandpa was a heavy alcoholic and a mass murder but legally of course I really genuinely had 0 clue how brutal Korea was .. I’m sorry grandpa
Sorry for my bad english but I would like to say that if it wasn't for these courageous warriors who fought for my country I wouldn't even be able to watch this video freely. Your sacrifice and blood became the foudation stone of nowadays South Korea which is going through the most prosperous era of it's entire history. Thank you
Your English is fine. Please come save us from the Democrats
Warms my heart reading your comment. My great uncle Homer Lawson fought in that war. He was in a Sherman tank with the 70th tank battalion company B. He came home suffering from shrapnel wounds, lost his hearing and had nightmares for many yrs afterwards. Even still he was very proud of his service in helping push the commies outta South Korea.
Bad english? Its pretty good
My grandfather fought in WW2 and Korea. Korea was terrible. It was cold. His friend and fellow soldier decided to take his own life in front of grandfather. He shot himself in the head. I don't know how my grandfather dealt with that.
Bless you and you're family, both
grandfather and great-grandfather we're in those two wars.
He did what he had to do and did his job, there wasn't time to think about that during war. He would of thought about it a lot on his own time, away from others
thank you to your grandfather.
MrHoppers002 pacific
My grandpa served in Korea. He never went into too much detail about it but he sure opened up more with me than he did with my dad and uncle. I remember the early 2000s I was all over google earth and we zoomed over to Korea and he showed me all the mountain tops and whatnot he was stationed on during his deployments :)
My grandfather was in Korea, God Bless you all Korean War Veterans.
My grandfather was a grunt in this war and it’s a insult to every soldier that served there that nobody recognizes it and jus figured if we forget about it it will go away thank you to all Korean veterans for your sacrifice and your service you fought honourably and with the upmost bravery you can hold your heads high gentlemen and nurses thank you Again
My grandpa was a Marine and a Korean War veteran. He never talked about it. He was as tough as nails. I come from a military family, so I pretty much knew what I had to do when I came of age. But none of my service will ever measure up to what the guys in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam went through.
what branch did you decide to serve if i might ask
Thank you for your service.
Your forefathers are, no doubt, proud of you.
My Heart felt, God Bless all of you who served in Korea. My Father served there God Rest his soul. he passed 2010 and never really talked about the War. I never pressed it.. I just want you to know I respect each and every one of you. Thank you. !
usaf vet my uncle has never talked about his Korean experience at all
God bless your father, I really want to thank him for fighting for our country...if it had not been for your father, SK would be living like slaves under control of Kim Jeung Eun.
The high standard of living and economic wealth of South Korea today, would have been bullshit if it had not been for the veterans
My Dad did too. 2nd ID 82Airborne. Never talked about it and was the most humble man I ever knew. He is my hero.
It's so weird that I read this. My Dad never talked about his time in the Korean war either. I wonder about this war so much somtimes. I think about it so often and I wasn't even there. What a horrible time it must have been.
My old man served with the Royal Northumberland Fusiliers, bless him. We lost him in 2011, came back & joined various Police forces in Australia, Palestine & finally British Transport Police in Paddington, London. A great man & Father ❤️
Hi, I'm Korean and I would like to thank the people and their families for their service in the Korean war and the sacrifices they have made. My father was a child during the Korean war and he still remembers his very first chocolate received by an US soldier. He told me that he was always hungry and always waited for US troops to go by so they can ask for food. He still remembers the US soldier named James who frequently gave him food especially chocolate. Now we live in New Zealand and my dad's english name is also James.
Thank you to every single country that participated on the UN side. South Korea is a democratic country now and has prospered since the war. If it wasn't for you, our country would be like North Korea right about now.
Thank you for this story it makes my day :)
My grandfather was a korean war veteran, he became a severe alcoholic after he came back until his death this year 2021. He only talked about it a single time in my life, I was probably 8 years old or so, and through my vague memory he was being attacked and overrun. The machinegunner had been killed and he took over the machinegun to get fire down, I've heard nothing else other than that.
Same here man just know ur grandpa was a fucking badass !!! Like Rambo it takes balls of steel to man the turret after u watch ur comrade get shot and killed
My grandpa as well. I asked him once and told me he didn’t wanna talk about it. I was only like 17 in 2006? He was a flamethrower in Korea. Mean guy. Bad drunk for a long time. I was so embarrassed of myself when he told me he didn’t wanna talk and went inside I almost cried and threw the football( he was gonna play D1 football and I wanted to as well)
It affects my aunts and uncles, he wasn’t a good guy to my grandma either. Just awful shit I heard recently. He’s still my grandpa, ya kno?
@@rbibbe34 Yeah supposedly my grandfather wasn’t too nice to my grandmother either but I never witnessed anything myself, I never actually directly asked my grandfather anything but I did research his unit, can’t remember on the top of my head, but he was on the far left flank of the entire frontline sent in as a replacement in I think 1952
As a Korean American, I am so greatful to those who fought in Korean war.
I never served. I have friends who did. I was fortunate not to be drafted through the lottery I'm 1970/'71.
I marched and participated in anti war demonstrations. Returning friends told stories and helped me understand what really happened in Vietnam. They educated me. They honored me with their patience and understanding.
I welcomed many Veterans home in the '70's and do the same now in 2017. My job in Medical Transport allows me to meet countless Veterans. My time at Charlotte Hall Veterans Home in Southern Maryland meeting Veterans from even World War II and The Korean War are some of the best times in my life.
Welcome home, Veterans after a job well done.
My grandfather lost his arm while serving in Korea. I only really talked with him when I was little and he died when I was around 12 years old so I never really got to know what happened. My grandma says he was caught in a truck when a bridge fell. My dad says he was near someone who stepped on a land mine. I wish he was still around.
My grandpa was in the marines he served in Iwo Jima got shot in the back and than served in Korea and lived to his 90s
I'm always been curious is to why they never made more movies or TV shows About the Korean War, especially my unit 3/1 we went through Hell!
they should make 1 on it Spielberg style. it's long overdue
guitarchoonz Yeah, I just feel like what we went through is being forgotten
sure people have already forgotten the Iraq/Afghanistan war that's the way it works unfortunately these day's..you were lucky you survived from the stuff I watched on the Tele it looked like a meat grinder
I´m sorry . People should´t forget sacrifice.
It's because Korea was the same ww2 generation and the TV 📺 or idiot box were just beginning to invade American homes therefore no protest. It's ironic I think the Korean War was worse than Vietnam because it was the same issue communist north vs American South Korea like north/south Vietnam except no one knows we actually won and took over North Korea than millions of Chinese pushed the biggest retreat in us military history while Seoul fell again to china. Then the war went on like ww1 trench warfare. Nuclear weapons were about to be used on china bringing Soviet Union to WW3. The firing of MacArthur and the Americans fighting the Chinese kind of the American Stalingrad. Ironically America is at good standing with Vietnam today but the North Korea issue is still war drumming while technically still at war with North Korea. In the Marxist school called my highschool there was only 1 page talking about Korea. But of course millions of pages about Vietnam not about the soldier but on all the liberal bulshit that was the counterculture. Unfortunately all u brave vets suffered for bankers wars. I'm one of the few millennials that know things like this
Lost my uncle Max B. Stevenson to a mortar in Korea. Nothing but respect to those who served for us
Thank you for serving our country . Never forgotten
My great grandpa was in the Korean War and he is now 87 and he told me plenty of storys
My friend and I were at a coffee shop when we met an Iraq War vet. He told us he had been in the Marines. It was hard to believe that such a young man had been a captain. War is for very young men and older teenagers.
From the bottom of my Korean heart, thank you America, thank you. 🇺🇸🤝🇰🇷
Korean war should be talked about a lot more. In school only one page covered the Korean war these guys put there lives on the line and some made the ultimate sacrifice God bless Korean war vets thank you for your sacrifice!!
My great grandfather, we called him poppy because back in the day in the 50s he would actually sell poppies from a small stand, served as a medic in the Korean war, and a lot of people assume that korean war vets had some kind of unspoken hatred towards koreans, but it really wasn't the case.
Just a a fact, Buzz Aldrin, second man on the moon, fought in the Korean War, in the airforce. He shot down 2 Russain MIGS.
I didn’t know that
Thank you, to every veteran of the Forgotten War. Many of us remember your sacrifice.
Both my grandfathers and my great uncle's served in the US Army during the Korean War and Vietnam era.🇺🇸
my grandfather fought in this war. he died when I was young so I don't remember him.
We do not do enough for these heroes! 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for all the sacrifices you made. Korea will never forget
The forgotten war. My best friends father was a tank commander in the Korean war. He survived it but it definitely changed him , his wife, my friends mother said he would always have nightmares and wake up . But would never talk about them.
Thank you all who served and fought against communists at that time. My father who passed away long time ago fought and injured too. As a korean, I feel you all are like my farther. God bless you all@
Times were hard in the 50’s. My grandfather lost left leg in this unfortunate war.
My dad ben sliger was a marine died in 1964 wish I new more I was 3 thank you all. Video was great
My grandfather was an army medic in the Korean War. He killed himself shortly after my mom was born. I can't even imagine what that poor man saw there.
Thanks Dad. For everything.
grandfather was a korean war veteran, never understood him too well, didn't speak too much, never spoke about his experience with the war. i didn't know the man well but this helps me to understand a little more what he might have been like beneath his rough exterior. RIP
I am a Summerlin too Mr Joe. Thank you and everyone else who fought for our freedom may God bless you all
respect from turkey all korean war veterans!! greatings to the heroic Turkish soldiers who saved the American soldiers from annihilation
Thank you and thank you who posted thid

My grandpa was a POW for almost 4 years in WW2. Stood in the Marines and also served in Korea where he was apart of the Chosin Few.
what is a POW?

My Paul served in Korea God bless these men who fought in this war
My Great grandfather (Paul) fought in this war and he didn’t like talking about it at all and he passed when I was young but he was always happy and didn’t sleep well sometimes so I hope God blessed every man that fought in wars
My great grandpa was a master gunnery sergeant, he entered the marines and fought in the Korean War and Vietnam. James Fred brookshire was his name . I wonder how many people fought under his command. We have presidential accommodation letter that say stuff like “without your expertise and military strategy we would not have done this or that and it’s super cool reading those letters today. I believe he entered the marines when he was 15 and lied about his age to join because both of his parents died . He passed away in 2015.
My Grandad (Who passed away in November '18) Was a British Gunner and fought in the Korean War.He was an amazing,unselfish and very kind man who was blessed with two Children,8 Grandchildren, 23 Great Grandchildren and 1 Great Great Grandchild.He loved us all and we loved him.My Grandad Eric was married to my Nan for 69 years.He was 89 when he passed on peacefully knowing he was loved and not alone.Grandad served faithfully in the British Army for 22 years and i am so proud of him.
I have total respect for everyone who have made sacrifices for the people they love and for their Country.

@@Colorsupidol_wigs It will never not make me laugh hysterically how Chinese dare try to uphold North Korea as a golden example of there intervention ROFL. One day it will be made 100% clear to the world what China held up.
My grandpa served in the Korean War he eventually got dementia and in 2004 he passed away he would have been 92 this year I miss my grandpa so much.
Some of these men remind me of my grandfather I wish i could of talked with him more about his service
I appreciate all these ppl who served our country
Pretty good video. My uncle served in Korea back in the late 60's and saw some action.
we forget about Korean war vets too much. Both my grandfather's served and they where young!
사랑합니다 그리고 감사드립니다 highly Thank you♥
My dad fought at Chosin. He said he thought wasn't going to make it, freezing weather, wave after wave of Chinese, stacking frozen bodies. He also fought in Vietnam, died at 73 cancer caused by agent orange
Thanks for the service 👍, semper fi
you are hero to all koreans. thank you. korean will never forget your sacrifice for the peace of korea
My grandparents died in that war. Mom was 8. When the soldiers came, the kids fled. Mom's 80, in America since '78. She still can't talk about it.
I think you did a good job with the piece dave. Thank you.
if there are any historians looking for material on the korean war, my grandfather can help. he has a wealth of info on battles fought and he can remember the name, rank and hometown of nearly everyone he served with. please help me document this history before it disapears forever
Hi Tony. Can we chat offline?
david a yes sir, my number is 309 253-4400; my email is tobo309@gmail.com
feel free to text/email its a bad time to sit and talk on the phone right now
My grandfather was a corpsman with the 1st Marine Division.
I wish I could learn more, or anything really, about my grandfather’s experience. He was in the Marines. Never talked about it, at least around me. Maybe I was too young (I was 7 when he died) but I heard *a lot* of things that weren’t “appropriate” for a child to hear growing up, so its easy to believe he simply couldn’t.
Him and my grandmother fought a lot…like, screaming and yelling and almost constant. But he was always sweet to me…my grandma never went a week without crying until the day she joined him. He was smart and sarcastic. Loved dogs, particularly collies. Loved talking about our Scottish heritage, even listened to bagpipes in the car. Liked to remind me of the clan motto “hold fast.” Always working. Wanted to work on his surveyor projects even in the hospital. Didn’t talk politics. Hated fireworks.
I’ve only seen one picture of him in Korea. He had a helmet on, was at a camp of some sort with a couple other guys around, and he had a mustache that he never sported again after. My favorite part: he’s looking directly into the camera and flipping it off.
Sorry to write so much and I’m sure it’s been too long to hope for a response, but if by chance there’s anybody reading this who might know the name John MacLeod…it would be amazing to hear.
NEVER THE FORGOTTEN WAR. WE ARE YOUR YOUR LEGACY.
Thank you so much
I am here thanks to you
Thankyou for everything
Dad still visits our local memorial in parkersburg wv to visit 2 buddies that didn't come back from punchbowl. He never has said too much about the fighting he was in and I never pressed him for stories. I can tell it was tough for him to deal with
can you believe what those soldiers went through for us to live and for their country...they layed down their lives
and saw their friends being killed..i think I want to try out for the USMC when I grow up
war is so sad, those service men and women that go through it ,much respect for them , schools should teach about that war and all other ones , thankfully i study military history if I didn't I wouldn't know anything about that war or any of them.
My grandfather was one of the chosin few. I never really got to talk to him about it. He died in 2007 before I was old enough to understand and ask him.
Ask for his military records while you can
@@joeswansonthesimphunter2612 that is a very good idea. Do you know how I would go about doing that? If not I have google

My great uncle fought in Korea. He told my dad that one night the Chinese creeped through their lines and slit dozens of soldiers throat before anyone even knew what was going on
Both my grandfather's served in Korea US Army. 🇺🇲
My Dad Hardly Slept Any,,He had bad dreams about Korea right up until He passed away
My grandpa which passed last year he was 89 he served in the Korea war and he would sit me down and show me his videos of him in it and jumping off planes and I remember he would never eat SPAM meat bc they feed him only spam doing the war.
As some one who was adopted from South Korea, thank you to all the veterans who served in the Korean conflict. These brave gentleman are the reason I live the life I do today. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten
I knew some veterans, they all told me it was cold as hell. The Chinese would blow whistles and come in waves.
Don't u mean charging trump?
my grandfather is looking for surviving members of the 5th RCT in korea between 1951-1954. if you have any helpful info at all please reply so we can exchange info as soon as possible
When I hear of vets tell their stories and recall those they’ve killed, I wonder if one of those people were my grandmother or grandfather. My mother was 8 when the fighting started. Both parents died. Her 3 younger siblings became hers. I don’t feel ill feelings toward these Korean War vets; I just wish it never happen. It really tore her family up that they’ve never recovered. Mother is almost 77 now. I wonder if she still thinks of her younger days in Korea where bombs and blood took precedence. I’ll never ask her though where her and her siblings hid, how they ate, if she still remembers..... I don’t have the heart to open that wound. ✌🏼
So sad for that mother. Still held onto hope that her boy didn’t die. 😭
Thank you for your service. Because of you, there exist South Korea today
Young and home sick, but had to grown up so fast facing life and death in battle ground of Korean war....I dropped tears watching these brave nameless heroes whop gave their lives in most brutal ugly humanity of war...: Mostly around 90s and mostly died already--Thank you and thank you for standing and fighting for the freedom and safety for countless strangers in the world and their protections. You are all heroes forever... singtoheaven.hearnow.com/nameless-heroes
Well, thx for ur service
now imagine if that psycho MacArthur hadn't sent all those young boys over the 38th parallel right into a trap, knowingly and deliberately
know who your enemies are
You got that right , he should have jailed after WW2.
At my dafd company one of his long time employees was in thus age group so Korea was his war Vietnam was mine. We both had been in 82nd so we had occasional discussions on his military service he was a typist and was in headquarters company so he was privy to much of the weekly paper work and personnel. Some photos and company portraits were brought in one day and he pointed out in this group shot of g.I.s in the headquarters office some of his buddies who were wounded kia and mia. Out of 15 or so men 8 were killed wounded or missing. I gasped as he was lovingly remembering each individual with a little story. He commented that guys were sent up to the front line and handed a rifle and experienced tough fighting night and day. We as a country would never accept this casualty rate of our boys in this day volunteer army.
My dad fought in the Korean war.. He never spoke of it. The only thing I remember him saying is that it wasn't our war.
Every war could have been avoided. The veterans did not deserve to suffer due to lack of diplomacy from the politicians.
If I was there I wouldn't want to leave, I would feel bad even on rotation, the way I see it we're a team and we're all going home together period, "No Man Left Behind".
I would really like to see Clint Eastwood put together a Korean War movie. I've noticed he incorporates something about Korea veterans in some of his movies.
He served in Korea “get off my lawn”
ALL Korean Vets must stand together.....I served on the DMZ as soo many others did, and without us, the battle would b lost.....And as so the war.....
Our Congress has faild us, and need Term Limits, Our Commander in chief failed us and and as such should finally merit us with our War Medals...For our Risks, Patrols, Ambush Sets, Ambushes, and Mines, and the other things....This is why we deserve our badges, all of thrm, and why the DOD refuses us........
God bless them all.
I am shocked that more people have not watched this. What soldiers suffered in all American wars should be taught in schools to learn part of our heritage. Unfortunately, school books are primarily written by liberals and every generation our children grow up learning less about God and the truth of their heritage. Now look at the national condition of millions of our children and their parents. .... Single mothers raising a family, aimless population that believes anything that sounds good to them, fed by mainly liberals. .... And many millions of Americans do not have a clue as to what happened and how to live meaningful lives. .... And many believe our constitution should be destroyed and our nation become socialist. .... Yes, most will be treated the same under a socialist government, everyone but the top of the "elite" as they like to be known, will be surfs. If socialism is so great, let them move to Russia, China or some other socialist country and leave us alone.
It is the progressive left that's causing all this destruction and destabilization of our children. They not only have taken all signs of christian/buddhism out of text, but they have recently added sharia law teachings. You really don't understand the little war the left have going do you? This is all about votes, they sell the country for votes to elite european powers.

Rubbish.
I agree with tobi the anchovy. It´s not about liberals. It´s appreciating a sacrifice whether you believe the war should have happened or not. It´s about human sympathy and common sense ,no matter what your politics are.
I really don't understand the hatred for liberals. Liberals are open to most things. And should be to teaching about war.
I don’t know who to blame but, America used to be great and now it’s not and it’s getting worse.
So it's the liberals that are anti education. Interesting.
