Hungnam, 12/24/50
3rd Infantry Division --- Last Troops Evacuated
Reactivated with the outbreak of hostilities in Korea fifteen months later, Princeton recommissioned 28 August 1950. Intensive training refreshed her Naval Reserve crew and on 5 December she joined TF 77 off the Korean coast, her planes and pilots (Air Group 19) making possible the reinstitution of jet combat air patrols over the battle zone. She launched 248 sorties against targets in the Hagaru area to announce her arrival, and for the next six days continued the pace to support Marines fighting their way down the long, cold road from the Chosin Reservoir to Hungnam. By the 11th, all units had reached the staging area on the coast. Princeton's planes, with other Navy, Marine, and Air Force squadrons, then covered the evacuation from Hungnam through its completion on 24 December 1950.
Truman, Acheson, and Owen Lattimore having screwed Chiang Kai-shek and given China to Mao; while FDR and Marshall had given Stalin Eastern Europe and vast quantities of materiel, why should not the Sock Puppet invade in June 1950?
The rush to demilitarize, cashing in that granddaddy of all peace dividends, relegating the SK posture to pro forma terra cotta warriors.
Hank Holzer got over there in 56 assigned to develop Chinese order of battle, remarking he was a very low rank for such an assignment.
How could McArthur not see the Chinese coming?
Hank has a whole book in the back of his mind, something about a hundred days, and why did McArthur--but I can't read his mind.
Another political betrayal--but our warriors proved superb in lunar conditions.
It's well to remember the United Nations was a Soviet idea for which Stalin demanded five, then four, until settling on three seats to our one--to which FDR patron saint of the Left acceded.
The facility on the East River will be best utilized as a USO for our returning warriors to enjoy.

We can settle the peninsular problem by sending Chia Jong a booby-trapped inflata-doll as a countermeasure to his nuclear Nodong gambit.
Appeasement has enabled his nuclear program.
