"47 Americans died on January 11, 1951 because they fought for Korean freedom.
I wonder how many of them were drafted? How many were teenagers?"

SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN VIEWING CLINT EASTWOOD'S LATEST ANTI-AMERICAN SPIN FILMS. Let's do it your way and not fight any more wars. I guess being on your knees and bowing to Mecca 5 times a day is okay by you! Better to live on your knees than die on your feet (A.H.!)

It's apparent that you missed my point. So I'll explain my position. ..

The Iraq War is a lot like the Korean War ...
except, in 2007,
we have a Republican president,
an antagonistic press,
and only 10% of the deaths

I've been pointing out for several months that the hypocritical Democrats, who say that Bush is cavalier with our troops' lives, want to hide the fact that 30,000 Americans died in 30 months under Truman during the Korean War. (10 times as many American deaths as in Iraq)

You can check out my blog at On This Date In Korea

I've transcribed a lot of old newspaper articles there. I also explain that, on particular days in Korea, 700 or 800 Americans died. For example On November 30, 1950 -- 781 Americans died for Korea's freedom

And, also under the Democrats, Full Wartime Censorship [was] Placed on Korean News January 9, 1951 Here's a summary of the censorship rules, if you don't care to take the time to click on the link

The press was placed under the jurisdiction of the Armey
Members of the press were told they could be court-martialed
Dispatches which might demoralize the troops were forbidden
Correspondents could not criticize the Allied conduct of the Korean war
Casualties could not be reported, before they were officially announced.
Officers could not be quoted, without authorization from above

Gosh, those were pretty strict censorship rules!!

Yet, the Dems pretend that Bush is trying to squelch opposiing viewpoints from the press about the Iraq war.

I hope I've explained my position well enough.

I forgot to mention this.

As you are well aware, the libs and the MSM want to "cut and run" from Iraq because 3,000 Americans died in over 3 1/2 years.

Guess how quickly Truman would have "cut and run" from Korea, if he agreed that 3,000 American deaths was the tipping point for pulling out of a conflict?

If 3,000 American deaths was the cut-off point for our involvement in the Korean war, we would have pulled out of Korea in 5 weeks.

That's right.

3,000 Americans died within 5 weeks of the start of the "police action" in Korea

Syriacus: "47 Americans died on January 11, 1951 because they fought for Korean freedom. I wonder how many of them were drafted? How many were teenagers?"

I just realized I didn't explain what I meant about this.

I'm saying that Cindy Sheehan, like other pinkos, views her son as a victim.

Casey wasn't drafted.

Maybe Cindy and the pinkos should feel more sorry for the draftees who were sent to Korea.

Also, I have a feeling that a greater number of the troops in Korea were younger (17-18 years old) than the troops in Iraq.(I might be wrong).

In order to be consistent with their view of troops as victims, shouldn't Cindy and the pinkos feel more sorry for the youths who died in Korea?
