Very impressive! Great Pics overall!

Nothing short of awe inspiring! What's that cloth on the right though? It can't be a parachute because those seem to be all white...

[Horna]

Hi, it´s a camo parachute alright. I think the pattern is usually referred to simply as parachute camo, have to do a bit of additional research on that though...


Edited for typo...

[Bayonet]

Brave soldiers both sides...


Nice pics overall....


Foolish war at all....

[Dalleer]

Hi, it´s a camo parachute alright. I think the pattern is usually referred to simply as parachute camo, have to do a bit of additional research on that though...


Edited for typo...

Hmm, if I'd have to guess the pattern in that parachute is the "Duck hunter" - camouflage.

Duck hunter was used in Korea, and I believe it was invented during the ending years of WWII. It was used by the US forces in the pacific, at least..

[sgtleemh]

thanx for the pictures. it's quite ironic to see someone once on the enemy side posting Korean War pictures in such a timely manner for the 54th anniversary of its outbreak (june 25), while less and less south Koreans want to commemorate the war and think hard enough of its meaning...

recently i read a book titled 'Breakthrough' which was about USMC's chosin reservoir campaign. wonder if there's PLA version of it, just like the pictures you posted.

again, 謝謝 :)

Hello...Korean

I have a simple question..do you like japanese?(no offense)

Great pics! Thanks!

By chance, were any of those pictures from Chipyong-Ni, February, 1951? I would love to see any UN or CHICOM/PRNK pics from that battle.

Thanks!

Thanks Bayonet! My father was in the US Army, 23rd Infantry Regiment, in that battle.

I respect all soldiers in that war....

I hope that your father wasn't wounded by us ...

[WolverineBlue]

He was wounded, unfortunately, but not too badly. He and his platoon caused the Chinese a lot of problems, I must say ;)

HAHA....You can say that ...that was what your father should do at that

time.

I want to say hello and sorry to your father....

My grandfather's brother was wounded by american's cannon ,and he

couldn't move ....he exploded his grenad when some american soldiers

captured him...

[Undo]

I don't want to start any flame wars, and I like and respect Chinese culture, but I would like to hear your thoughts about the many Nato prisoners who were executed by the PLA, particularly in their initial drive south. There is a newsreel I remember seeing of a US communications team that was bound with their radio wire and shot in the head. While I respect all soldiers in all wars who fight bravely and with honor, there is no honor and no respect for murderers.

I'm really not sure about that..

As I know ,there is a formal rule in PLA,kill pow is crime

The PLA soldier who killed pow will be executed by military court.

I have read some books written by old american soldiers...

They said NK soldiers would kill prisoners and PLA treat pows better..

So you sure the soldiers you saw in that newsreel were PLA not NK army?

Can you give me a link to this video?

But We all didnt live in that era,,Maybe you can ask WolverineBlue's

father,he was a soldier in Korean War....

just curious: what time line are we talking about?

if you mean during Korean War, there is little chance that NATO was actually involved. maybe you mean UN soldiers..?

FYI, we still have the UN Command stationed here, cuz we're still technically at war. it was only Armistice, not some peace treaty.

[WolverineBlue]

Yes, it's UN, not NATO.

Chipyong-Ni was brutal...may all those poor souls rest in peace.

I believe it was North Koreans, and this happened during the first few months of the war when the Americans and ROK were pushed back to the Naktong. During the stand there, Americans found a commo team that had been executed. The PLA was not in the war yet.

Doh! Of course I did mean UN. I am sorry. If I remember correctly in the newsreel it stated they were captured by the PLA in their advance south, but how they came to this conclusion I do not know. Do you know if the PLA had these rules against killing POWs during the Korean war?

Again, I know that this is history and I am not trying to incite anger, I would just like to get the Chinese perspective on this thing.

[Bayonet]

Yes, it's UN, not NATO.

Yes...RIP....

My grandfather's brother was dead for his motherland in Sansuo-li....I

don't where is Sansuo-li in NK....

Yes,,it is an basic rule in PLA...but we should know that everyone in that

war was crazy..After you saw you close friends, your brothers were

killed by enemies,,and even after cannon you cant find their

corpses ,what will you do to your enemies.....

But I really doubt that they were PLA or NK...I know its very diffcult for

western people to tell apart between Chinese and Korean..

The most important thing is that we are friend now(China and US)

This benefits each side.

Hello...Korean

I have a simple question..do you like japanese?(no offense)

thanks.....

well, if you ask my PERSONAL preference among the Asian major powers that surround the Korean peninsula, yes, i do like japanese generally more than other members of the north east asia. or i can say it is partly respect and partly envy that i feel toward Japan. i respect their way of adopting modernization, and envy how they made business out of the Korean War and revived.

however, talking about how Koreans in general feel about japanese, i can definitely say that most of us just don't like them, doubtlessly becuz of the history of japanese colonialsm.

it's a very emotional thing here too, and it becomes more of a love-hate relation. especially youngsters love japanese culture, but they get outraged over the japanese rule and on-going territorial dispute.

but the bottom line is, no matter what we do and how we feel, the japanese people mostly don't give a $#!t to other asian countries.

just a piece of entertainment thingy:

mms://mmc.daumcast.net/mmc/event/d_sup/d_movie/pr_taekukki.wmv

it's a trailer of a Korean movie about the Korean War. the plot is mainly about two brothers being swallowed up in the brutal storm of war, and how they find the meaning of brotherhood. very moving.

i know some of you say this one smells Private Ryan-ish. but the budget for this movie was only a tenth of that spent on SPR. i think it's a great job done.

more than 10 million south Koreans (a quarter of its population) saw this movie. yup, it's a record.

PS: no translated subtitles. sorry. ;)

I just saw this movie last week Its great .....in chinese we call it

"Flying TaeKuKki" ---太极旗飘扬

[WolverineBlue]

That movie looks pretty well-made -- thanks!

[b.scheller]

the movie looks great, i wish i understood korean.

its hard to comprehend the fact that people of the same nationality could fight each other in such a brutal manner...

[sgtleemh]

here goes the wild translation of what's being said on the trailer clip. bear with me, even if it doesn't sound too good. :oops:

-as of july 18, 1950, all of you gentlemen will be deployed to the frontline.
-Jin-seok!
-brother!
-get off now! /you son of a..
-mom!

-jin seok, it's me, your btother! breath in! you can do it!
-cover me!

-you want to get killed so badly?
-i don't give a damn about it. all i care is you make it alive out of here.
-brother!
-no!
-what the hell is that medal to you?
-who do you think i risked my life for?
-don't throw this at me. i didn't ask you to!

-no.. it's not true, Jin-tae
-get her out of here now!

-brother, i wish this's all just a dream. when i wake up later, i'd be home, and i would tell you over the breakfast that i had this strange but realistic dream... we must make it back home alive together.
-you.. you killed her.


PS: taegukki is the national flag of ROK, which symbolizes yin and yang, and the very harmony of the world.

Sgt, I was interested to know what is the general opinion of Koreans about the current status of the North and South relations and what is the general opinion of the Korean War?

[Bayonet]

Hello ....korean

Do you know where is San Suo Li in korean?

My grandfather's brother was dead there?

Maybe in Chinese characters its 三所里...do you know it?

Thank you very much...谢谢

[sgtleemh]

Sgt, I was interested to know what is the general opinion of Koreans about the current status of the North and South relations and what is the general opinion of the Korean War?

first i have to say it's very hard to answer that question in any simple manner, becuz ROK is currently in the middle of political transition. in other words, we're finally figuring out what the end of cold war really means.

for the last 50 years, ROK has been well known for its anti-communist, hard core right-wing atmosphere that ruled most of the social sectors and issues. also, ROK has been on a tight(bloodshed) military alliance with the US since the Korean War, and owed a lot to America for economic recovery and military support. this is what we call a 'patron-client' relationship. there used to be little doubt that the north Korea (and for some time PRC, too) was ROK's biggest enemy of evil -i remember painting some anti-communism posters describing north Koreans as devils when i was in elementary school. yes, the Korean War left a huge scar on either side...

however, as the rest of the world has long been enjoying the end of the cold war, we are now finally catching up with others. in the course some reactive social/political forces that used to be supressed under the right wing atmosphere recently breaks loose: a few years ago a liberal (or sheer left-wing to the eyes of the traditional anti-communist conservatives) administration was elected, and the parliament is also going thru similar changes.

in addition to that, here we have this so called unilateralism of the US policy on the new counter-terrorism warfare. like many youngsters of the world, younger generation of Korea is also 'en vogue' to criticize US policy and question the necessity of ROK-US alliance. love-hate relation to the US is more acute and keen than ever before! and we're even sending additional troops to Iraq soon!

back to mr. Scheller's question: therefore i dare say there's no such thing as 'general' opinion on any issue these days in Korea. most of the opinions are severely divided and in some issue areas it can be said 'polarized' even. for example, older generation who literally survived the post-war era on the US aid sincerely agrees to the ROK forces deployment to Iraq, understanding it as paying back the long debt. on the other hand, younger generation thinks their biggest enemy is not north Korea, but mr. George Bush. whether their opinion is rationally right or wrong, it's increasingly becoming an emotional gap.

same goes with the Korean War and nK. for the older and the conservative nK remains clear and present danger. but for the younger and the liberal nK is like a family member to be embraced and accepted.

i think either side is both right and wrong. the older see the present security threat that nK still poses to the south with its one of the largest conventional military forces of the world, and the younger see the future goal of reconciliation and reunification between south and north. i suppose this sort of a dilemma comes from where the Korean peninsula is at. the cold war is over, but not quite over here yet....

well, i'm pretty damn sure that above said things won't quite answer mr. Scheller's question, and i feel sorry about it. but all i can say right now is we're still in transition. we will have to see what comes next. :)

[WolverineBlue]

Very astute commentary, sgtleemh -- thanks for the insight.

[b.scheller]

Actually that seems to have hit the nail on top of the head, it was what I was looking for. Thanks Sgt, your answer was very informative!

[sgtleemh]

thanx. i'm glad it turns out to be helpful to you. :D

In addition, I believe those are Marines, not Army as J-10 said...although I suppose those links basically show that anyway.

In any case, great photos guys, and some very interesting thoughts, sgtleemh.

This image has always drawn me. It is the Korean War Memorial in Washington DC. Pic obviously taken in the winter. The memorial looks very real and unreal in the snow, which brings home the hardships of war.
This particular pic is from a commerative stamp.
