MacArthur was right, Truman was wrong.
They forced the US to retreat from Chosin Resevoire. They paid with over 48000 casualties, possibly as high as 60k, most of them from the sub-zero weather.
It ended any hope of the UN re-uniting the peninsula, but the heavy Chinese casualties meant they couldn’t go on to take South Korea.
Surprised some Hollyweirdos didn’t volunteer to star as the “foul enemy of the people”
Maybe John Cena could apologize in Mandarin in the post credit scene.
Let’s Go, CCP.
The North Koreans must get up every morning and cheer that the Chinese forced them to stay communist.
Ever wonder how this same Communism Chinese Army could not defeat the Japanese in combination with the Nationalist Chinese Army and the American....from 31 to 45
But then defeat the Nationalist Chinese Army in 48 and fight the American and UN Army to a stalemate in 52?
The Communism sandbagged again the Japanese and let the Nationalist Chinese Army and Chinese civilians bear the load
Without the U.S. everybody in China would be speaking Japanese.
My brother-in-law was there. He remembers when the Chinese came in screaming and running, shooting. They shot them down like dogs.
Then the next wave picking up the guns of the first. Shot them down.
Then the next wave again picking up what guns they could find, some armed with clubs and rocks.
Again they shot them down before having to pull out. He walked across Korea from east to west and back five times.
When he was relieved and placed on a ship heading back to the US, through the Indian Ocean and Europe, he refused to get off until they came into a US port.
Is this like a usual Chinese Opera type film in which a soldier will pick up a sword, then flying through the air whack off half a dozen enemy heads?
I saw that in a Chinese movie. One soldier whacked off 7 or 8 Japanese soldier’s heads in one jump.
Meanwhile China long ago bought up Hollywood, which has been spewing pro-China, weak America crap (with apparently more than a bit of truth to it).
