Not a far-fetched scenario, either. The Chinese were well on their way to overwhelming the US forces in the Korean War, and the day was saved only because the Chinese ranks were savaged by hemorrhagic smallpox.

I hadn't heard the "hemorrhagic smallpox" angle. Sure that wasn't the ChiCom/NK spin? Both of those countries claimed that the US had used "germ warfare" on them, but what I've always read that what stopped them in the winter of '50-'51 was a combination of overextended supply lines and an old paratrooper named Ridgeway.

I just thought it was worth reposting.
