CHOSIN, a Korean War documentary film by Brian Iglesias

In the winter of 1950, 15,000 U.S. troops were surrounded and trapped by 120,000 Chinese soldiers in the frozen mountains of North Korea. Refusing surrender, the men fought 78 miles to freedom and saved the lives of 98,000 civilian refugees. After 60 years of silence, the survivors of the Chosin Reservoir Campaign of the Korean War take us on an emotional and heart-pounding journey through one of the most savage battles in American history. Produced by Iraq War veterans Brian Iglesias and Anton Sattler. Directed by Brian Iglesias. World Premiere at the 2010 GI Film Festival.

@pretzelzetzel Korea does have a huge memorial dude.

[pretzelzetzel]

And yes, God bless those veterans. South Korea is an awesome place to live now. I'm amazed that there is so little recognition for the Korean War. Vietnam has that huge memorial, and Korea gets nothing. It's really shameful. A lot can perhaps be attributed to Truman's ill-fated 'police action' remark.

[pretzelzetzel]

comments and promises from American leaders, as well as a lucky string of events in the UN that allowed for such a massive commitment against the North. Even so, later on, by assuming that Chinese and Soviet interests were essentially one and the same, the American's never predicted that the Chinese might get pissed off by seeing thousands of armed men just across the Yalu, and THAT is the major reason why THEY didn't wind up winning the war.

[pretzelzetzel]

And SO, it is easy to understand how some people might want to theorise that it was a calculated plot on the part of the Americans and their allies. However, there is no evidence of this being the case. There IS evidence of Kim asking for and receiving permission from Stalin to launch his attack. None of them thought the Americans would be willing to invest so much to hold on to South Korea. In fact, even the Americans didn't. It was kind of an accident of poorly thought-out and ill-timed..
