Wait, so US troops were afraid to fight North Korean troops and just shoot at innocent civilians instead? Also, first they tell those unfortunate Koreans to leave their home, than they just hunt them down along the way? What kind of sick people would do that? Surely illustrate the American might of arms in killing innocent people, than cry for the whole world about Democracy and human rights, when they try to cover up many human right abuses. Good job warriors. Good job. Shooting civialins

Who knows the truth about what really happened here, we may never find out. But it is interesting to note that at this site; en(dot)wikipedia(dot)org/wiki/­No_Gun_Ri It is claimed that the stories of 4 American soldiers were dismissed as fraud, saying that they were not even present at No Gun Ri.

At 1:16 he says 25 July, 1950... I was just 19 days old. Only 18 short years later I was considered a prime candidate for service in South Viet Nam. I don't know which was the biggest joke, Korea or Viet Nam. In a lot of ways they were both alike. All my fuckin' life the US has been involved in some kind of conflict. But since August 1945 not a single US soldier has died for the cause of freedom. Instead, they have given their lives for politicians, oil companies and big corporations.

@StevieChannel I said this was a good cause. Blunder was the order to shoot the civilians.

Hey, I just noticed that the person narrating this documentary was also narrating Battlefield TV series.

Americans somehow frequently manage to turn a good cause into a massive blunder.
