It's such bullshit that in history class we study what america did for the South Koreans and forget all that the South Koreans gave to defend themselves and their country. I love this movie, because it tells what the South Koreans did for the South Koreans and their country. Hollywood gets most war stories wrong every damn time. I hate Hollywood. This movie was done right.
is that a m1 garand that the main character has? if so , is this the korean war? , if so , where are the american trench lines, I thought they were well mixed?(South Korean/American)
This War is because of U.S and Soviet Union, against the democracy and communists. It has nothing to do about the Koreans. They are just VICTIMS of the cold war. Stop bullshiting about history, Korea could've been a united country not devided by two .
@LtActionCam The VC and NVA didn t like to fight the Americans in hand-to-hand comabt, much less the ROK. Simply cos both the Yanks and ROK were physically stronger than the Vietnamese as a whole. As much as the Japanese loved close quarter fighting,They lost in close quarter fighting when they came up against the Americans or British. South-east asians are physically small, and the North Eastern asians like the Japanese or Koreans were simply not much better against western troops
@VonTavast They are physically stronger, but that fact aside, ask yourself this, why has no Asian country had an Empire of its own outside of Asia. And why is it that Westerners have owned parts of Asia in the past. It is because westerners have been soldiers a lot longer than asians have in history. Asians have only been trained as soldiers for the last 130 years. Before that they were like many tribes in Africa and the middle east, good fighters, but crap soldiers.
@species6339 sorry to laugh at your attempts to sound knowledgeable, but that is the worst attempt at explaining why the west had empires period. Let alone make you sound smart, this actually makes you look real dumb. You should at least google facts up before commenting in the near future. No offense.
@VonTavast I can take on the chin, we have a difference of opinion on what we both believe we know, but u may want to select some better choice words in the future if u have a debate with anyone else. It could turn nasty, believe me....I've seen it go bad, Take care. Peace.
@ShootForFun824 During the korean war they say We (Americans) would lose ground because they would run out of ammo or their guns would melt. another thing was the N.K were crack troops and had more tanks then the Army, thats why we almost lost the Korean war in the very beggining. Hard to fight and enemy when they r all charging and throwing so much lead at you you cant shoot back or shoot back fast enough.
@ShootForFun824 That is an intelligent comment! I have been shooting all my life, and reliability is something I am not willing to compromise on. Take it from me, the best bolt action rifles are the short barreled carbines with the turned down bolt. I just got a German 98K, you wouldn't believe how easy it is to fire that kind of bolt action gun rapidly!
@laskfj In the US it's not talked about so much. It was a messy war and after WWII we only like to talk about the really decisive victories. Their was relatively little mention of Vietnam in our culture until the 1980s.
@cirasoni09 i was actually asking WHO is fighting WHO!!! is this japanese vs. chinese or is it north vietnam vs south vietnam, or korea vs. north korea.. i have no fucking idea and cant tell by the rifles either... help me
@blackey3321 actually the guys with caps are North koreans only, china hadn t entered the war yet, and they had a different uniform to the North Koreans.
my great grandfather was run over by a t-34 during the war, he was serving with the greeks when his unit was charged by armor in an attempt to save ammo. He was run over in his trench.
But he sunk into the mud and survived with a bruise :)
Freedom from control was worth fighting for. We salute all the freedom loving south Koreans, Americans, and civilians who died during this terrible war. We pray for the mislead communist soldiers and may god rest their souls as well. Man is evil, so don't ever let government tell you what's right or wrong, only god can. Whoever your god may be
@RayceSangDeath Interesting comment! I have been shooting since 1967, I am also writing a book about military History. Yes, a semi automatic has many advantages, but I would still prefer a bolt action carbine, like the Russian M44. Why? Simply because a bolt action can digest the poorest quality ammunition. A semiautomatic is likely to break or jam if there is anything wrong with its ammunition.
My grandpa was in Korea. From 1951-1953. He used to tell me how nuts the Chinese were. 12 men would come over a hill charging your position and maybe 5 have rifles. He used to tell me of the stacks of dead they he'd seen. Where human cadavers were used as sandbags, to fight off the next human wave attack. There is a reason why the Korean War is not talked about as much in West, and that's because it was whole sale slaughter.
@HaggenPagan26 I agree with your statement. My uncle was over in Korea and I've heard the same stories. One that comes to mind is his story about being in the Battle of Chosin Reservoir where his platoon was surrounded by massive amounts of Chinese soldiers who would attack in waves with blunt weapons and small handguns. Over the course of hours, the Chinese managed to drain their ammo and energy by attacking in these waves all the while taking their fully automatic weapons for the next one.
@HaggenPagan26 It's too bad too, people in America act like this war never happened, or that is was a small little conflict that didn't affect the US, when in reality, it helped fuel thecols war, and caused thousands of US casualties. It did bring us a good ally tho.S. Korea has a good military, plus is a great strategic point the US can launch operations from. Good thing we're frends. I don't hate the North Koreans tho, 90% of them wish they were anywhere but in thier own country.
@breezeman199 Or no we shouldn't considering the south korean government wants us there incase of the north trying to be ambitious again. Especially after kim jong il dies.
@ContinentalPatriot Who cares what the South Korean government wants? Why should Americans be chumps? Why should Americans have to die for South Korea? S.K. has TWICE the population of N.K. It also has an economy FORTY times larger. It enjoys a huge technological lead over the north. There is no reason why S.K. can't protect itself. Bring those 28,000 troops home and deploy them on the Mexican border.
@breezeman199 Now you sound like an ignorant fool. How would it seem to the world if we abandoned our allies, left them to fend for themselves and then if they lost korea would have a stockpile of nuclear weaponry, a unified communistic state and a dangerous threat? You're an ignorant fool
@ContinentalPatriot This alliance is one-sided and serves no American interest. Why SHOULDN'T S.K. fend for itself? It has twice the population and forty times the economy of the north. N.K. already has nuclear weaponry, American withdrawal doesn't change that. Indeed N.K. developed such weapons because of America's presence there. So what if it is a unified communist state? Isn't China? A "dangerous threat"? Are you nuts? The Pacific ocean and thousands of nuclear bombs make this impossible.
@breezeman199 You're just a complete moron... A unified communist state is what we've been trying to defend against since the 1950's we're not going to let all the americans who died in the korean war die in vain! The sk fended for itself in the korean war when america stepped in to hold the line. You have no idea so please go crawl back under the rock you've been living under.
@ContinentalPatriot In the 1950's the USA had a hostile strategic rival - the USSR. It no longer exists. Interesting that you can do little but engage in infantile name calling.
@breezeman199 Yet you have presented nothing that would call for us breaking our alliance with one of our closest allies Sout Korea. It's interesting that you can do nothing but engage in non existent facts and only with your opinions. This conversation is over. Good day sir.
@breezeman199 You're from freaking Canada? LMAO dude I thought you were an American haha. Bro I have to rest my case, you wouldn't know anything about the outside would you. C'mon, have you been to S. Korea? Hawaii? Japan? India? China? Germany? France? Italy? Russia? Your opinion on the world and what it should do means nothing to me untill you've actually seen the world. Enough said. OH btw some people are calling you rascist on your channel... if that's true, ur a waste of my time.
@SuperSneakySniper I've travelled all over the world. I wonder why you think people in Canada don't travel? "Racism" on your part? America can no longer afford the luxury of being the self-appointed policeman of the world. And how could North Korea possibly threaten Hawaii? And why would American trade withe the east be curtailed? What you say is nonsense, but Americans are subject to tremendous propaganda....this isthe country that gave birth to yellow journalism.
@breezeman199 I never said you didn't travel over the world. I simply asked if you did, and stated that if you didn't, you have no opinion of it. N. Korea can easily take Hawaii, to think it can't is a joke. But aren't you Canadian? Why do you care? Can you tell me how US military spending affected you negetively at all? Just asking, don't get all over-defensive. Its our country, we do as we want becuase we can. Don't like it? Move here and vote against it. Im for it, so too bad bro.
@breezeman199 oh i think it's good the US is there, South Korea don't complain they think it's good the US is there to buff up thier military show of force against N korea. S korea enjoys the US company, well, at least that's what they're military and base military civilians say.
@SuperSneakySniper I don't think it's good the USA is there. It certainly is not good for America. Do you have any idea how much money it has cost the USA to deploy troops in South Korea since 1953? How long do you want American troops to be there? A 100 years? Enough. Bring those troops home now and let the Koreans work out their own matters.
@breezeman199 Well the US/ROK soldiers ain't complaining that's for sure, I enjoyed time there. I think the U.S. could save much more money in more efficient ways other than lowering defense levels in S. Korea. South Korea's problem is going to be our problem eventualy no matter what. If we leave, and S. Korea gets totally flattened, we have no defense or offensive capabilities in the east. Hawaii can't defend itself against one of the largest militaries in the world either. we'd be done
@SuperSneakySniper Why does America need offensive capabilities in the far east? Haven't you ever heard of the Pacific ocean? How could even a unified hostile Korea possibly threaten America? How is Hawaii in danger? Are a fleet of junks going to sail 8,000 miles across the Pacific ocean and invade? You can't be serious. You enjoyed time in S.K. - on the American taxpayers dime sir. And you were not protecting America either. USA can no longer afford outdated and pointless one-sided "alliances".
@breezeman199 I really want to avoid any long lengthy discussion that might escalate so I'll just say this. The North Koreans hate us. Just check out the propaganda. The Iranians do too and the two are closely tied. They both also have extremist governments that aren't afraid to pull the trigger or tell someone else to pull it as long as the US is the target. One last note, the Korean War is on going. It never ended. An armistice it in place, but its still going on.
@breezeman199 lol I saw Korea on my own time/my own dime. I checked out the military base there and met up with some of the soldiers for a breif time and enjoyed it. The poor people there are scared shitless becuase they know that if N. Korea got a hint of a decent chance, they'd hit S. Korea like mad. The U.S. hasn't given them a decent chance since 1953. I happen to give a crap about countries other than the U.S. Have you been anywhere outside the US and seen the people? They're just like us.
@breezeman199 I simply stated that abandoning an allied country is one of the less efficient ways to save govmt cash. The Leader of N. Korea is a psycho, I never said he'd invade the U.S, but if he DID take Hawaii what would we do? We would lose trade to the East. China wouldn't help, they'd like to watch our economy fall. We can't do much w/o chinese imports, soooo without the East defended, we get nothin'. N. Korean military is larger than ours, hawaii is not even an obstical.
That's pretty much what it's like when any countries are fighting... The only difference between most of us is lines on a map. Really we are all just humans killing humans. But what makes us different is often our views on religion, or how we believe that society should be run, and North Korea are a bunch of crazy freaks. I would definatly chose to live in south K if I had to pick between the two. "Thank you Kim Jong Il, for painting the sky such a beautiful blue with your magic powers..." lol
this is another great example of a a movie which the leaders are toughter, stronger, more skilled and even braver. i think thats a problem, most soldiers which charge the machine gun posts die, but the leaders NO i wonder why? the leader of the attackers ( idont know if there north or south koreans) but he takes n an entire machine gun post by himself?
this is another great example of a a movie which the leaders are toughter, stronger, more skilled and even braver. i think thats a problem, most soldiers which charge the machine gun posts die, but the leaders NO i wonder why?
you know what would be cool? if they showed a movie with north korean-perspective, like they did with japanese-perspective of Letters from Iwo Jima, that movie was epic
Fuck war. Fuck the United Nations, they are the reason why the Koreans are still at war today. Kim il Sung was a phenomenal leader. If he died ruler of a Unified Korea another great candidate would take his place, not his asshole son Kim Jong Il. I think Korea would be like China, free market economy but strict government.
@RedRisingTiger If Kim Il Sung is a phenominal leader, then why did North Korea lost millions of people thanks to staving? If it weren't for the Soviet's, Korea will actually be united. The United States were planning a unified Republic of Korea but whiny ass Joseph Stalin want some communist rule. Plus, many North Koreans welcomed South Korean forces passing their villages while South Koreans resented the North advancement. So it's the Soviet's fault.
@JunierMahri246 Some of your points are very true. But North korea could not stand the fact that many politicians and military officers from South Korea served in the Manchukuo puppet Japanese army. Remember, 1 million Chinese troops crossed the border to help North Korea. Each one took an oath to give their life to fight American imperialism, all volunteers.
@badpeq Being able to aim accurately is difficult in these kinds of scenarios. The enemy is very close and you dont always have time to aim and shoot with all the chaos going on. Your natural instincts will make you use anything to keep yourself alive.
@badpeq The rifle the South Korean forces are largely equipt with is the M1 Garand, which was a very reliable rifle, it would sometimes malfunction but it was a rare occasion. Being that it was semi-automatic with an 8 round clip, less accurate shooters would often fire the 8 rounds off very quickly and not be able to reload in the heat of battle, which is another reason there is alot of melee fighting.
@TaZ101SAGA That's why the Chinese and the North favored the PPSH-41 or the AK-47 because of its reliability and mass firing. The South and the U.S use the Grease Gun, Sten, and the Thompson
@TaZ101SAGA They were. The Soviets give their communist allies AK-47. It was one of the most popular weapon used by the Chinese and the British used Sten up to the 1960s. I should add the British to my recent post
@JunierMahri246 Yes you are correct, the British did use the Sten, seeing as your previous comment 'The South and the U.S Used the Sten' which makes no sense, because it was only ever issued to British troops. Besides, the NKA was not equipt with AK47's. Despite what alot of people think, the AK47 was actually shrouded in secrecy until 1956, when it was first seen in use during the Hungarian Revolution. The Russian's had trouble manufacturing the guns to start with, around the early 1950's.
South Korean army was pretty bad and got beated hard by the North Korean army that was well trained. This movie is pretty much off from realism but it's a good movie.
I had to watch this whole film in a history lesson. I couldn't help but shake as I watched as it only gets more and more gruesome throughout the film. Epic movie though, I love it the story line is really touching too.

@HaggenPagan26 It's too bad too, people in America act like this war never happened, or that is was a small little conflict that didn't affect the US, when in reality, it helped fuel thecols war, and caused thousands of US casualties. It did bring us a good ally tho.S. Korea has a good military, plus is a great strategic point the US can launch operations from. Good thing we're frends. I don't hate the North Koreans tho, 90% of them wish they were anywhere but in thier own country.

@SuperSneakySniper America should withdraw its troops from South Korea.

@breezeman199 Or no we shouldn't considering the south korean government wants us there incase of the north trying to be ambitious again. Especially after kim jong il dies.

@ContinentalPatriot Who cares what the South Korean government wants? Why should Americans be chumps? Why should Americans have to die for South Korea? S.K. has TWICE the population of N.K. It also has an economy FORTY times larger. It enjoys a huge technological lead over the north. There is no reason why S.K. can't protect itself. Bring those 28,000 troops home and deploy them on the Mexican border.

@breezeman199 Now you sound like an ignorant fool. How would it seem to the world if we abandoned our allies, left them to fend for themselves and then if they lost korea would have a stockpile of nuclear weaponry, a unified communistic state and a dangerous threat? You're an ignorant fool
ContinentalPatriot 4 months ago
@ContinentalPatriot This alliance is one-sided and serves no American interest. Why SHOULDN'T S.K. fend for itself? It has twice the population and forty times the economy of the north. N.K. already has nuclear weaponry, American withdrawal doesn't change that. Indeed N.K. developed such weapons because of America's presence there. So what if it is a unified communist state? Isn't China? A "dangerous threat"? Are you nuts? The Pacific ocean and thousands of nuclear bombs make this impossible.
breezeman199 4 months ago
@breezeman199 You're just a complete moron... A unified communist state is what we've been trying to defend against since the 1950's we're not going to let all the americans who died in the korean war die in vain! The sk fended for itself in the korean war when america stepped in to hold the line. You have no idea so please go crawl back under the rock you've been living under.

@ContinentalPatriot In the 1950's the USA had a hostile strategic rival - the USSR. It no longer exists. Interesting that you can do little but engage in infantile name calling.

@breezeman199 Yet you have presented nothing that would call for us breaking our alliance with one of our closest allies Sout Korea. It's interesting that you can do nothing but engage in non existent facts and only with your opinions. This conversation is over. Good day sir.

@breezeman199 You're from freaking Canada? LMAO dude I thought you were an American haha. Bro I have to rest my case, you wouldn't know anything about the outside would you. C'mon, have you been to S. Korea? Hawaii? Japan? India? China? Germany? France? Italy? Russia? Your opinion on the world and what it should do means nothing to me untill you've actually seen the world. Enough said. OH btw some people are calling you rascist on your channel... if that's true, ur a waste of my time.
SuperSneakySniper 4 months ago
@SuperSneakySniper I've travelled all over the world. I wonder why you think people in Canada don't travel? "Racism" on your part? America can no longer afford the luxury of being the self-appointed policeman of the world. And how could North Korea possibly threaten Hawaii? And why would American trade withe the east be curtailed? What you say is nonsense, but Americans are subject to tremendous propaganda....this isthe country that gave birth to yellow journalism.
breezeman199 4 months ago
@breezeman199 I never said you didn't travel over the world. I simply asked if you did, and stated that if you didn't, you have no opinion of it. N. Korea can easily take Hawaii, to think it can't is a joke. But aren't you Canadian? Why do you care? Can you tell me how US military spending affected you negetively at all? Just asking, don't get all over-defensive. Its our country, we do as we want becuase we can. Don't like it? Move here and vote against it. Im for it, so too bad bro.

@breezeman199 oh i think it's good the US is there, South Korea don't complain they think it's good the US is there to buff up thier military show of force against N korea. S korea enjoys the US company, well, at least that's what they're military and base military civilians say.
SuperSneakySniper 4 months ago
@SuperSneakySniper I don't think it's good the USA is there. It certainly is not good for America. Do you have any idea how much money it has cost the USA to deploy troops in South Korea since 1953? How long do you want American troops to be there? A 100 years? Enough. Bring those troops home now and let the Koreans work out their own matters.
breezeman199 4 months ago
@breezeman199 Well the US/ROK soldiers ain't complaining that's for sure, I enjoyed time there. I think the U.S. could save much more money in more efficient ways other than lowering defense levels in S. Korea. South Korea's problem is going to be our problem eventualy no matter what. If we leave, and S. Korea gets totally flattened, we have no defense or offensive capabilities in the east. Hawaii can't defend itself against one of the largest militaries in the world either. we'd be done
SuperSneakySniper 4 months ago
@SuperSneakySniper Why does America need offensive capabilities in the far east? Haven't you ever heard of the Pacific ocean? How could even a unified hostile Korea possibly threaten America? How is Hawaii in danger? Are a fleet of junks going to sail 8,000 miles across the Pacific ocean and invade? You can't be serious. You enjoyed time in S.K. - on the American taxpayers dime sir. And you were not protecting America either. USA can no longer afford outdated and pointless one-sided "alliances".

@TimOvrlrd The time has long since come for Americans to leave Korea. America can no longer afford the luxury of an interventionist foreign policy.
breezeman199 4 months ago
@breezeman199 I really want to avoid any long lengthy discussion that might escalate so I'll just say this. The North Koreans hate us. Just check out the propaganda. The Iranians do too and the two are closely tied. They both also have extremist governments that aren't afraid to pull the trigger or tell someone else to pull it as long as the US is the target. One last note, the Korean War is on going. It never ended. An armistice it in place, but its still going on.
TimOvrlrd 4 months ago
@breezeman199 lol I saw Korea on my own time/my own dime. I checked out the military base there and met up with some of the soldiers for a breif time and enjoyed it. The poor people there are scared shitless becuase they know that if N. Korea got a hint of a decent chance, they'd hit S. Korea like mad. The U.S. hasn't given them a decent chance since 1953. I happen to give a crap about countries other than the U.S. Have you been anywhere outside the US and seen the people? They're just like us.
SuperSneakySniper 4 months ago
@breezeman199 I simply stated that abandoning an allied country is one of the less efficient ways to save govmt cash. The Leader of N. Korea is a psycho, I never said he'd invade the U.S, but if he DID take Hawaii what would we do? We would lose trade to the East. China wouldn't help, they'd like to watch our economy fall. We can't do much w/o chinese imports, soooo without the East defended, we get nothin'. N. Korean military is larger than ours, hawaii is not even an obstical.

The worst about the Korean War was that it was the same people in the same land killing each other over their own land. Much like the Civil War.

That's pretty much what it's like when any countries are fighting... The only difference between most of us is lines on a map. Really we are all just humans killing humans. But what makes us different is often our views on religion, or how we believe that society should be run, and North Korea are a bunch of crazy freaks. I would definatly chose to live in south K if I had to pick between the two. "Thank you Kim Jong Il, for painting the sky such a beautiful blue with your magic powers..." lol

Fuck war. Fuck the United Nations, they are the reason why the Koreans are still at war today. Kim il Sung was a phenomenal leader. If he died ruler of a Unified Korea another great candidate would take his place, not his asshole son Kim Jong Il. I think Korea would be like China, free market economy but strict government.
RedRisingTiger 10 months ago
@RedRisingTiger If Kim Il Sung is a phenominal leader, then why did North Korea lost millions of people thanks to staving? If it weren't for the Soviet's, Korea will actually be united. The United States were planning a unified Republic of Korea but whiny ass Joseph Stalin want some communist rule. Plus, many North Koreans welcomed South Korean forces passing their villages while South Koreans resented the North advancement. So it's the Soviet's fault.
JunierMahri246 7 months ago
@JunierMahri246 Some of your points are very true. But North korea could not stand the fact that many politicians and military officers from South Korea served in the Manchukuo puppet Japanese army. Remember, 1 million Chinese troops crossed the border to help North Korea. Each one took an oath to give their life to fight American imperialism, all volunteers.

@badpeq Being able to aim accurately is difficult in these kinds of scenarios. The enemy is very close and you dont always have time to aim and shoot with all the chaos going on. Your natural instincts will make you use anything to keep yourself alive.
TaZ101SAGA 10 months ago
@TaZ101SAGA I supposed you're right. Also, some of the early rifles were prone to jam or misfire.
badpeq 10 months ago
@badpeq The rifle the South Korean forces are largely equipt with is the M1 Garand, which was a very reliable rifle, it would sometimes malfunction but it was a rare occasion. Being that it was semi-automatic with an 8 round clip, less accurate shooters would often fire the 8 rounds off very quickly and not be able to reload in the heat of battle, which is another reason there is alot of melee fighting.
TaZ101SAGA 10 months ago
@TaZ101SAGA That's why the Chinese and the North favored the PPSH-41 or the AK-47 because of its reliability and mass firing. The South and the U.S use the Grease Gun, Sten, and the Thompson
JunierMahri246 7 months ago
@JunierMahri246 AK47 & Sten were not used in the Korean war.
TaZ101SAGA 7 months ago
@TaZ101SAGA They were. The Soviets give their communist allies AK-47. It was one of the most popular weapon used by the Chinese and the British used Sten up to the 1960s. I should add the British to my recent post
JunierMahri246 7 months ago
@JunierMahri246 Yes you are correct, the British did use the Sten, seeing as your previous comment 'The South and the U.S Used the Sten' which makes no sense, because it was only ever issued to British troops. Besides, the NKA was not equipt with AK47's. Despite what alot of people think, the AK47 was actually shrouded in secrecy until 1956, when it was first seen in use during the Hungarian Revolution. The Russian's had trouble manufacturing the guns to start with, around the early 1950's.
