Korean Students Blame U.S. For 1980 Massacre Of 2000 Students http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/55a/182.html
S. Korean survivors tell of 1980 Gwangju massacre http://www.workers.org/2005/world/gwangju-0526/
Kwangju still an issue in U.S.-South Korea relationship http://edition.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2000/korea/story/kwangju/
How many people did the Chicom and NK regimes massacre during this period?
Wow! Alleged crimes from 1950, when the Republic of Korea was being invaded by the DPRK (aka North Korea)and YOUR country, and you conveniently post about it. How much does that pay?
NOt to mention the North Korean bloody butchers???
When will you provide a comparison with the absolutely staggering numbers killed by the ruthless N. Korean and ChiCom invaders? NOT excusing any particular atrocity by South Koreans but the depravity of North Korean and ChiCom invaders was endless and continues to the present day (HUGE contrast with South Korea).... would also like to see you review all of the massacres and famines conducted by the ChiCom totalitarian thugs over the past 70+ years. When you are finished tallying up all of the millions and millions of innocent lives they have destroyed, then we can talk about South Korea. Oh, and let’s be sure to talk about Tiananmen Square and so many other massacres by the ChiComs.
Good Bye Chicom troll.
The Chinese and North Koreans (with Russian equipment and aid) murdered hundreds of thousands of Koreans. The Chinese murdered 60,000,000 of their own people and are still ROUTINELY murdering people now.
Chicoms blow.
Contrary to the inferences invited in this article, its revelations are nothing new. Fehrenbach mentions many examples of South Korean brutality, always keeping it in perspective against the holocaust routinely perpetrated by advancing communists, and specifically mentions the massacre at Daejon. It is interesting that the article fails to mention an even more horrific event, the premature demolition of the Han River bridges by ROK forces right after the communist onslaught. The explosives killed thousands on the bridges themselves and trapped hundreds of thousands of government troops, their families, and pro-government civilians north of the river, where they soon fell into the open arms of their countrymen from the north. Very few were ever seen again.
Isn't it interesting that this is used in South Korea to demonize the US when Koreans themselves were indisputably the perpetrators?
In my opinion, there are many more leftists around the world that need killing.
Ya know, it seems to be a never-ending job and we seem to keep falling further and further behind.
Yeah, well, hard to say much about that, since Jimmy Carter was at the helm of the nation at that time, and he’s widely stated on this forum as being the worst president ever, just another milestone for the history books - oh, wait, keep forgetting that they skip his poor decisions.
However, trying to make your point by directing people to communist websites well known for their propaganda bias does nothing for your ‘cause’ in making the post.
The interesting part though is the suggestion that the US is somehow to blame for all of this, that the 40,000 US troops at the DMZ should have done something about it. Aside from the obvious - they’re stationed at the DMZ to prevent North Korea from invading again, who absolutely would have taken advantage of any major chaos in the south, how would 40,000 troops take on over 80,000 troops? Especially considering the amount of defenses oriented right towards where the US troops would be coming from...
So, please, spare us the propaganda, it’s not our problem, never was our problem, though if someone other than Jimmy Carter was at the helm, far stronger opinions would have come from the US about the coup. But, well, it’s /always/ far easier to blame someone on the other side of the world, as it plays right into the propaganda aims of some.
Btw, every ill-informed, ungrateful, America-hating commie- kool-aid drinker on the Korean peninsula is hereby invited to kiss my royal Scottish arse.
(With a hat-tip to that great American firefighter Mike Moran, who famously extended an Irish version of this invitation to Osama bin Laden just after 9-11.)
Those people would still be alive if the Communist had not marched south.
LOL
"In the late 1940s, President Syngman Rhee's U.S.-installed rightist regime crushed leftist political activity in South Korea,..." Oh! They were just like, Democrats, or something. You know, vote drives, political 'activity'. That kind of thing. Spy? Assassins, saboteurs? Nah. Not one!.. including a guerrilla uprising..Oh, yeah. A war, a civil war against communist. We forgot to mention that. Context, it be hard..... inspired.. Inspired. How exciting! Who could be against inspiration? .. by the communists ruling the north "ruling the north" Like kind of vague, eh? Like maybe they were freely elected or something. We'll just gloss over that and use a passive, vague word. Calling Dr. Orwell, clean up at AP!
Dittos! The Russian communists killed 40-100 million people in purges and the Chinese outdid THAT! The only good communist is a dead one. Summary execution of the bastards would serve as a lesson to liberals.
It really doesn’t matter. We (free ‘western’ countries) are supposed to be better than that.
Shakey sources and a lack of perspective carefully avoided. Interesing post there, newbie.
Is that YOU, Alan Alda??
Hey look another little chicom troll. You guys are like the mindless zerg drones in starcraft. BTW you red commie flag is ugly and the CCP//PRC is disgusting.
Political prisoners?
That means that they were commies and sympathizers.
Move along, nothing to see here.
... that's what you are zhen.
Look in the mirror ... see?
Yep you're a Chicom.
