TOKO-RI did not have a happy ending...
But, I think it was a fine movie...

North Koreans did not treat POWs very well...

VERY TRUE on both points. = I have a dear friend here in SA who was a prisoner of both the Chicoms & the NKs. Needless to say that he’s NOT “overly fond” of either group.

Naa’teh’s comment was that what the NK’s lacked in intelligence & regard for the rule of international law, they made up for with casual/unthinking BRUTALITY.
(He killed 2 of his guards while escaping back to friendly lines & was picked-up by Greek commandos after 8 days with almost no fresh water, about a cup of raw rice & almost no sleep at all.- After that was 10 months in Army hospitals in country, in Japan & in Dc to at least somewhat recover his health.)

Yours, TMN78247
