The only enemy that S.Korea has is the North. Stop inventing stuff >

>>>>Hardly. Anyone with even a cursory sense of history knows that not only is China a threat being communist and is building a large military while the world sleeps, but they ALSO were actively involved in the Korean war! Again, what passes for history class in failed public schools these days is just sad.

now, China is not a threat to S.Korea!

You mean that same China that is funding the US by buying our debt is really our enemy!

Yes, China was involved in the Korean War, because we went up to the Yalu and the US was warned about getting too close to the Chinese border.

But McAruther underestimated the Chinese and overextended the U.S. forces so we got hammered by about 1 million Chinese which military intelligence didn't locate until too late.

So, the Chinese did not enter the Korean War to conquer S.Korea, they entered it to save N.Korea.

Your grasp of history is clearly very limited.

FTD: Well, if only we had realized that, like Hapless Harry Truman, you were a sharper military mind than Douglas MacArthur, how COULD we have disagreed with paleosurrenderism? Is it the paleosurrendermonkey position that the Korean War was OUR fault as AlQaeda's man from Galveston claims that the Iraq War is OUR fault??? If we had just allowed Kim Il Sung (or whatever his name was) to continue overrunning South Korea as a client of the soviets slaughtering and subjugating our allies in their invasion of Seoul, is it your position that that would be more desirable than stopping the bastards at the DMZ. We did not get the whole loaf (which would have included taking out Mao whose forces had one rifle for every ten men) but settled unfortunately for some South Korean slices. We made the mistake of having anyone else in charge but MacArthur and most particularly by pretense of fighting under the UN, but a lot of people lived and lived in relative freedom instead of being consumed by the communist monstrosity of the North. Does their living in freedom due to our efforts bother you? Why?

My grasp of history as a major in that subject got me a magna cum laude added to my BA. If you can say the same, you must have graduated from Patrice Lumumba University or some such place or, like TPanther noted, yours would also be reflective of the gummint edjumakashun ignorance factories known as gummint skewels.

Actually, MacArthur overestimated Hapless Harry Truman’s manhood.
