U.S. Policy Was to Shoot Korean Refugees

Certainly not surprising that the AP would want to bash the military on Memorial Day.

I hope they all rot in hell for eternity.

dated the day of the Army's mass killing of South Korean refugees at No Gun Ri in 1950

Has this truly been verified? I thought that subsequent to the Pulitizer prize wining story of 1999 that doubt had been cast on this tale?

[neodad]

Bush's Fault.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

I thought that the No Gun Ri "incident" was mostly debunked.

This is a set up for the MSM's glee over their current and coming Iraq atrocity stories, true or not.

[Mr. K]

Nice interpretation slimeballs- warning people to not cross a border is HUMANITARIAN.

How do you tell the difference between invaders and refugees?

The story in NO WAY implies that it was official policy to shoot refugees- it simply states firm orders that are in place to protect the border.

[FlingWingFlyer]

The DNC's Ass. Press supports the troops. Again, we have to question the timing of this piece of anti-American/Military garbage. Why now? A Memorial Day gift from the ASS. PRESS to the troops fighting the war against terror?

[DTogo]

Anything to pee on the military on Memorial Day.

(MSM bastards!!)

[Patriot from Philly]

Well, it seems like our MSM wants to turn Memorial Day into Remember US atrocies Day.

Will Independence Day become Reflect on the Evils of Our Founders Day

And Thanksgiving Day: Will that become, well, Turkey Day.

Hmmm....I might have to write AP.

[decimon]

Again, we have to question the timing...

Yup. True, false or otherwise, this story could have waited a day.

[Bernard]

Bush's Fault.

It must be. There is not a single mention of which administration was in power in 1950, let alone which party that administration belonged to. Obviously, the impartial AP must have thought it was not important.

[Gaffer]

Written by Martha Mendoza...

[Quark606]

If its true there were probably so many commies in the North Korean Army that they didn't have enough real uniforms, so they might mistake a refugee stupid enough to cross the border for a communist.

[Quark606]

Let me rephrase that: so many people in the North Korean Army (they were all commies)

[AliVeritas]

That's more BS they like to recycle, evil can't create anything, like the BBC saying over 1000 UK troops are AWOL today... and of course Murtha and Haditha, the CBS reporters getting killed in Baghdad (pbut). Nothing about the riots (hardcore riots), in Iran, Egypt and other middle eastern countries FOR democracy, the mullah in Afghanistan who stood up to AlQ yesterday and helped us take out 50 insurgents at the cost of his life, or the US (why is it always us), using our fine troops to help with the earthquakes and every disaster going on while the blue helmets are held hostage in the Congo? Guess who'll probably have to go and save their ass...

They also found time to print Korea wanting us out as well.

[calex59]

Not a word about the "refugees" being north korean and chinese regulars in disguise. This happened frequently. The memo itself is not damaging except in the minds of leftists. It says they will be given warning shots and then if they ignore that they will be fired upon. This was just common sense and was not a war crime or an atrocity.

The alternative was to let guerillas come into he lines and massacre a bunch of American and allied troops.

[wildcatf4f3]

We should apologize and leave. Sick of Korea.

[SandRat]

[Txsleuth]

I think you have them figured out...

[Pox]

Both are psychotic liberals, and she is just another shining example from Bezerkley.
