My grandpa fought in the Korean War. Never talked much about combat but he was wounded when he rolled on top of a landmine. Luckily it was a dud and he was only injured instead of being blown to smithereens. The army mistakenly thought he was KIA and sent word to his family that he was dead. Little did they know he was shipped off to a small island where there was a hospital and didn’t find out about their mistake till a week or so later. Boy was that a rush of emotion for my family when they found out he was alive and coming home. He passed away last year and was the kindest and most honorable man I’ve ever known. Sad I never got to talk more about the war with him but I’ll never forget hearing that story.

There were lots of resistance among the Chinese military leaders when they were debating about sending troops to Korea, until the civilian infrastructure in Dandong, the Chinese city on the border with Korea was bombed by US Air Force. At that moment the CCP believed a US invasion was inevitable (now we know Truman refused MacArthur‘s request). This bombing however seems to be ignored by most of the sources in English, including this video or WIki in English. It is briefly mentioned in the Wikipedia in Chinese.

0:32: 🚢 The video discusses the amphibious invasion during the Korean War that turned the tide of the war. 4:04: 📚 The Korean War was a unique proxy war where the US and USSR were mostly against the conflict initiated by Kim Il-sung. 8:23: 🔥 The Battle of Pusan Perimeter was a crucial turning point in the Korean War, where the United States successfully defended against North Korean forces and bought time for mobilization. 12:18: 🇨🇳 China enters the Korean War and launches an offensive against the UN forces. 16:35: 💥 The Korean War reached a stalemate as the US focused on destroying the Chinese rather than retaking North Korea, with both sides engaging in bloody battles for key positions.

My great-grandfather served in the Korean War. He was stationed in Japan at the time and his platoon was tasked with guarding a warehouse in the Southern part of the country. (I think, can't remember). He said the warehouse was huge and had everything the military needed to be shipped out across the water to South Korea. There was a rail depot nearby connected to the warehouse, and he said a train would depart every morning full of supplies, and then come back in the evening with wounded and dead soldiers to be off loaded and be treated. He's still alive (93 I think). It's been about a year since I last saw him, and I get to see him again this weekend, so I'll get to ask him about his stories. (Not gonna be too pushy since It seems to be sensitive to him.)

A great summary of the Korean War! But there seems to be a small error. The narrator's reference to Kim Il-sung (the North Korean leader) as Sung sounds very odd. That North Korean leader's last name was Kim, and his given name was Il-sung. The narrator may have thought that his family name is Sung, which is not true. He refers to the South Korean leader by his last name, Rhee.

My grandfather fought in Korea and Vietnam, he passed in 2019 at 90 years old. I found so many old pics of him when he was in the army at the time, he was 22-24 around this time. He told me a few things about it, particularly about jumping out is airplanes and he could see bullets flying at him from trees. I love listening to history like this and it reminds me of what my grandfather went through, and he was a young man fighting a war and how brave he was.

Just so you know, the PRC (People's Republic of China) was a brand new country with unstable supplies. We had a civil war just a year before (1949) with the Republic of China, so we were still poor and unstable. Our soldiers were tired of war. While the US had jets, jeeps, tanks and other modern stuff, our troops had to walk on feet at -30 degrees (Celsius). All we had were cannons and infantry.

Well the Chinese soldiers were veterans of the civil war and had high morale. They are used to fighting a technologically superior foe and had developed many techniques for doing so. They were also highly skilled in firefights, often sneaking to to American positions in the dead of night and was comfortable operating behind enemy lines without a line of communication to their rear. American over confidence also helped during the initial stages of the Chinese attack. You see this again in the Vietnam war (and perhaps the war in Afghanistan). Veteran troops with high morale beats technological superiority.

Thanks for covering this topic, as I believe it hasn't been given the attention it deserves. It also holds quite a lot of sentimental value. My grandmother was born under Japanese occupation in Korea, and left the country with an American soldier (my grandfather) during the Korean War. She has only shared a few stories with me, but the few she told are incredibly harrowing, experiencing things I can barely even imagine.

I hardly need to. There are several South Korean POWs who weren’t released during the war and remain in the North to this day. Some remain imprisoned, while some were released and are now North Koreans. Additionally, my grandmother’s hometown was part of the South, but it got taken by the North and remains a part of it to this day. She was living elsewhere when it got captured, but if she wasn’t, she would have become a North Korean.

Now I remember the 6x8 flag of 48 stars very well; we had a huge flag in in my tiny school in Idaho in the 1950s where it reached from floor to ceiling on a hallway wall. And I remember the 7x7 flag of 49 stars from 1959 when Alaska was admitted. Our current flag has five rows of six stars alternating with four rows of five stars, adding up to 50.
