Normal movie.

Although the ideological message is completely false. They should have listended to that KIm Il Sung's zampolit=))

Actually Pork Chop Hill was named after its resemblance to a pork chop when depicted on the topographic maps used by officers in the fields. Actually it was Hill 255 before having the name changed to Pork Chop Hill, because of its contour lines. You might be thinking of Hamburger Hill in Vietnam that was named because they were "Chopped up like hamburger meat" while taking the hill.

Some M1 carbines can been seen in the initial battles in 1950 mainly with the 24th ID. But my 1953 alsmost all US units had M2s.
