I think it's one of John Payne's best acting performance I've seen..even if I don't like war movies . He was silver star medal in WWII , in 1942....U.S.Air Force. He knew what war was like.

When I was in the Army in the late 60s I served with an E-7 who had done two tours in Nam and had served in Korea as a young kid from the black ghetto, having enlisted at age 17 in 1949. He was an alcoholic and would drink himself stupid when off duty but was always sober and in charge of what needed to be done while on duty. He was a short guy who was tough as steel on the outside but who had a heart of gold inside. I found out later that he died of pneumonia at the post hospital. I have more respect for guys like that than anybody else that I can imagine.

My Uncle served with the 31st Inf as a signalman - He fought on Old Baldy and Pork Chop. He operated the battalion's radios and often called in artillery and air strikes, He was offered a commission if he extended his tour. He declined and left Pork Chop on a truck to Munsan, Inchon, San Francisco, and home. The day after he left, the Chinese took the hill and the majority of the defenders were killed. It was something that stayed with him for the rest of his life. He passed away in March this year. Rest in Peace Uncle Greg. In 1988, it became my turn to serve in the ROK. Pork Chop and Old Baldy are in the middle of the DMZ now.

I had an uncle who survived that hell on earth. He was a proud Marine but would not talk about it at all. I found out a little from my dad what happened to him in Korea. He was one of the few that survived the Chosin Reservoir, the cold, and the relentless attacks by the Chinese. When you get close enough to your enemy to stick him with a bayonet, you never forget about it. He was buried in his uniform and they didn't have to cut open the back of his tunic for it to fit him! Marine until the end! Semper Fi.

David Voinier • My Uncle was a Marine CWO in Korea. I never saw a man with such terrible PTSD in my life, even 10 years after it ended. I wondered why he and my aunt didn't share a bedroom: I thought that all married people did that. Only later did I realize he must have been having terrible nightmares. He used to wake up in the morning to find he had chewed holes in his pillow case. I don't know where in Korea he was, just that it said CWO in his obituary. RIP 🌺 ✝️ Uncle Don

Then later, in the middle of the night, they were awakened by trumpets, drums and screaming as the Chinese started to come over the Yalu river. They had to literally abandon everything and run for their lives. When I asked him what it was like, the only thing he would tell me was "it was cold, the people talked funny, and I wanted to go home."

My uncle was drafted into the military around 1950. He was in the Japanese Occupation Forces and was sent to Korea very early. He suffered a severe stomach wound sometime in 1951 which put him on a special diet for years. He never talked about it in the times I saw him. I know he had been a leading American contender for membership in the track and field squad for the 1953 Olympics but his wounds ended that. He did seem to recover completely and was always a tremendously fit guy at about 6 ft. 6 inches. He lived to a decent age, dying only a few years ago after a long career as a teacher and high school coach in Alaska. I doubt the cold in Korea would have bothered him much as he was born and grew up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, which is far north of Winter. He used to chop wood in their back yard wearing a tee shirt. At -5°F. It was always claimed he moved to Alaska, where he met my Dad's sister, because it was warmer than where he grew up. I think of him every time I see this or other films about the Korean War. A friend of mine in college in the late 1970's, a Korean graduate student in history who looked far younger than he was, had served in the Korean Navy at both the Inchon and Eonson landings, while also being in other combat. It was interesting to get a very intelligent Korean's perspective on the war.

+Steven Grotte ---- "And it looks like trump is selling us and South Korea to North Korea as of 6/12/2018." You could not be more mistaken. You are now witnessing what was previously believed to be impossible, the beginning of the dismantlement of the North Korean totalitarian government with the assistance of its latest Dear Leader. The problem being faced is how to accomplish the revolutionary change without triggering a bloody civil war that could result in a suicidal North Korean military offensive against South Korea and the 28 million people in Seoul. Even the current Dear Leader is a prisoner of the regime's past Juche and Communist ideologies, so any efforts to disturb the status quo by the subordinates or the current Dear Leader invites a coup by the elites who do not want to face the consequences that can result from being held accountable for the actions of the past regimes. Changing this situation peacefully is going to require time, patience, and wisdom on the part of the American, North Korean, and South Korean leaders. China will play a conflicting role, because China needs a non-threatening North Korea, but also a Communist North Korea that keeps the Korean peninsula politically and militarily divided. Trump is working to peacefully disarm the North Korean threat with the assistance of the Dear Leader and without provoking an intervention into the North Korean government and peninsula by the People's Republic of China.

Nice "little" Hollywood gem, no expensive effects just a straightforward story. A fter listening to stories my father recounted from Burma in WW2, I'm convinced socks and boots were as essential as ammunition. What kind of infantry can you have when you can't walk? As to Korea, Trump will never receive the credit due for his success in the peninsula. China has much more to gain working with the U.S. than prolonging the regime of a bunch of ideological dingbats. North Korea is an albatross around their neck. We have what North Korea needs- FOOD! You can't eat a nuclear weapon.

Late to the comment show. I started watching all the Korea War movies I can lately.

One glaring equipment error was the S-55 helicopter which wasn't employed until 1951 in Korea IIRC.

Nearly every male in my family has served in the Marine Corps, myself included. My dad served in Korea. What blows me away about Korea isn't the horrors of combat, the desecration of the bodies of the dead, or the extreme weather and command staff lack of concern for the welfare of their front line troops. All of that stuff is something you must expect during your contracted service experience. What surprises me even now is the lack of proper survival equipment for everyone on the ground. It happened during parts of WWII and WWI, but by the time war came about in Korea our military leadership should have been fully aware of the need for extreme cold weather survival gear. Yet countless young jarheads lost digits and had limbs hacked away bit by bit due to the race to beat frostbite. During my years of service we went to cold weather training in Michigan, which is where my family is originally from. The gear we were issued was engineered for our survival under extreme conditions, and Michigan is known for ridiculously large snow build-up that drifts clear over the top of private residences. Having shared all that, it wasn't even cold when I went to cold weather training. In fact, there wasn't any freaking snow! I was all excited about learning new skills and practicing combat operations in snowy terrain, but it wasn't meant to be I guess. 🤔

Buddy we went in Iraq and Afghanistan lacking the same shit. Always fighting todays war with last wars crap. I know many guys who had family buy them real body armor private sale and ship it over. I begged and swapped till I could field an M14 just so I had the range needed. Mags fielded came from second party sales as was the scope and mounts. Many guys did the same. My Dad was sending me over match ammo bought from Sportsman Guide. Yes you can get an M1A national match sent over in parts if you know the supply guys and buy the mail room a couple of whores to look the other way when "tubes of drafting paper" come through that weigh 9 pounds..

I was there in Jan -Dec 73. 1st Battalion, 38th Infantry, 2nd Infantry Division. Camp Hovey. Straight-leg infantry without personnel carriers. Carried everything on our backs. Coldest place I've ever been in my life, and in 26 years in the Army. Ground was too hard to dig, so we used old fighting positions from 1953. Canteens froze. C-rations froze unless carried inside our shirts. Jeeps could not have windshields up, side-curtains, or tops up, since it would be hard to get out if ambushed. On the march, we stopped every hour or so for a foot inspection by the platoon leaders. If a soldier's feet were injured by the cold, the lieutenant got an Article-15. Changed socks, placed wet socks under our armpits to dry, and then moved-out. Frostbite of the fingers or toes or anywhere was an Article-15 offense. In base camp, we had to run through the snow to get to the latrine and showers. Hootches warmed with diesel fuel heaters; had to carry the diesel cans through the snow. Even three years in Germany 77-80 was never like Korea-cold. At least for the grunts it was just miserably, awfully, brutal. A close friend of mine was a pathfinder platoon leader in the 101st in Vietnam. One day he got a replacement who had transferred from Korea. The guy said he volunteered for Vietnam jus to get our of Korea.

I truly believe what you sat about Vietnam Vets! I missed the draft by a matter of weeks so I never had to serve. Sometimes I wonder if I would have been a better man if I had, but that is a different matter. In talking with many vets that served both in the jungles of Nam and those that were in the South Pacific, I can't see that either one was overall worse than the other. I am certain that the difference lies in the reasons we were fighting in both locations. In WW2 there was no doubt about the reasons in particular and it seemed vital to our survival. But in Nam, the reasons are much less clear and frankly even questionable which makes it even worse! However in both places, our soldiers were fighting for their very lives and existence and that is a pretty clear reason no matter the issues that sent them there! When the WW2 vets came home, it was to a hero's welcome and all the accolades and pride that came with it. The Vets from Nam came back from an equally horrible experience of trying to stay alive and were met with disdain, shame and even being spit on as if the Vietnam War was their fault! There was and is no excuse for that sort of attitude from people here that have no idea what they experienced or even the notion as to why. As for that, the people in our country that acted that way should be ashamed of themselves. I met a guy about 20 years after coming back from Nam that actually won a Bronze Star for what he had done but he wouldn't wear it because they way people acted towards him made him feel ashamed of himself for doing frankly what he HAD to do! That nearly brought tears to my eyes because on top of that, he was in the area being treated for the effects of Agent Orange! Anyway, I told him that as one single American, I appreciated what he had done and the reasons he was their doing it!

Elements of the army's 65th Regiment of the 3rd Inf. Div. shared the Marine's Hell on the road back from Chosin. They attempted to control the high ground on either side of the road and helped keep many troops supplied with shu-pacs and socks. My dad was a warrant officer j.g. with part of HQ company of the 65th. His experiences at Chosin/Hungnam haunted him to the end of his days. Rest in Peace, pop.

the Korean War ended with an Armistice, rather than an allied win, which is probably why it is less remembered today. Australia was obviously one of the allies. My mother's fiance was in the airforce and died in a plane crash. My mother's next boyfriend was in the navy. Then she married my father who was also in the airforce as an engineer, repairing jet fighters.

This is one of my favorite Korean War movies. Hollywood produced a slew of Korean War movies between 1951 and 1958. After that, interest in Korean War movies largely ended. Hollywood filmed almost all of its Korean War movies in Southern California, where the terrain is similar to the Korean countryside of 1950, rolling hills, short mountains, covered with short, dry scrub vegetation, sparse woods, largely dry, semiarid climate. My favorite scene seems to be the one filmed at a crossroads where lies a small, ruined village. It was well-planned and executed. I always thought the whiskey bottle thing, serving as a central morale booster was a tad unrealistic. Today that bottle would have been opened up and emptied in seconds then discarded and forgotten. Hollywood's Korean War movies tend to be dark, gritty, violent, and bereft of much sense of glory, mostly focusing on small unit interaction and comradeship and the sense of relief at survival. In some ways, Hollywood's Korean War movies presaged the few, future Vietnam War movies and even the Saving Private Ryan type grittier war movies. Since it was 1956, blood, guts, and gore could not be depicted as later in Saving Private Ryan.

the korean war films were always the most interesting to me, " Steel Helmet" "Porkchop Hill" "Retreat Hell!" It was a brutal, hellish war that never gets the attention and respect it deserves, probably for current political reasons, much like the Mexican American wars. No disrespect to the Normandy invasion, the Chosin river (redeployment) could be considered the most brutal in modern military history. Would like to see Spielberg do a film about those events
