My father hated M.A.S.H. He served in korea from July 10th 1950 to April 1952. He thought it was propaganda to diminish the horror he witnessed perpetrated by “progressives”.

I want to know why we’ve heard very little about theses people sinc January 20th, 2009.

I do not mean to portray any disrespect to William Christopher since one should never speak ill of the dead. He was a fine actor. The show however was pure anti war leftist propaganda as evidenced by the political ravings of many of its former cast members as recently as the last electoral college vote.

The Korean war was not the “Forgotten war”, it was the “Forgotten Victory” the next victory after the Berlin Airlift of the cold war. Leftists will never let a victory go untarnished. They must diminish them anyway they can. I for one an sick of it.

That was an interesting article you linked to. What jumped out at me from it?

The first casualty from Iraq buried in sec. 60 was named Russell Rippetoe. He was an Army ranger, and he was killed very early in the fighting in Iraq, in March 2003. He was at a checkpoint on the Iraq-Syria border where they were screening people. He approached a car....But in any event, one of the people in the car was outfitted with a suicide vest and blew herself and the car up, killing Russell Rippetoe.

The very first casualty was from a woman with a suicide vest blowing herself up. Not an Iraq Army regular or Saddam's Republican Guard. That alone should have told us volumes about exactly who we were fighting and what we got ourselves involved in there.
