Thanks for posting this, I had not seen it before. Reminds me of the analogy Hawkeye made in MASH that war is worse than hell because innocent people suffer in war.
@EdsterIII Жыл бұрын
That was such poignant line that Hawkeye said. Hell is full of sinners and people who deserve it while war is filled with innocent bystanders. Women, children, and the elderly. M*A*S*H was not one of my favorite shows as a kid in the 70's. As a matter of fact I didn't like it at all. However as I got older, "wiser" in theory...lol, I began to understand why it was so special and so popular and as time passed it has become my all-time favorite show ever made. MacLean Stevenson and Wayne Rogers were my two favorites in the first three seasons. I grew to love Hawkeye, but oh Burns and Houlihan were oh so annoying. M*A*S*H may have been a comedy, but they never ever made the war funny. I mean in ways they did, but the REAL WAR, the worst parts, they made sure nobody took death lightly.

thank you for sharing this information those who served and the survived to live other days. Korea was an undeclared war with world complications i want to acknowledge some servicemen who served in korea and i never knew served until the passed on. adam ( government issued gi 'joe') rittlinger. he was a neighbor in windsor locks. hermann schmidt (founder of hermann schmidt precision tools.) he was born in germany and immigrated to american and served in the us army and was decorated for valiant service. and he never talked about it as i worked for hime in the 1970s from high school through college.) i want to acknowledge the dutch nato military peace keepers. they served a war that the Dutch did not want to send people to war as it violated their neutrality. it is a precursor of american civilian response to the war called vietnam. my mom and dad were children in nazi occupied holland.my dad did a conscripted tour of duty january 1952-january 1953. in the commando corp. he went in as a foot soldier and left as a korporal. by january 23 1953 my mom turned 18 and on january 26 she married my dad in a civil service. .... a side note dutch queen juliana dedicated the bell tower in Arlington national cemetery as a gift from the netherlands to all the american service peron who gave up their lives in wwIi. i believe. that was in 1953. ps mom dad and a baby sister and i immigrated from the netherlands to windsor Connecticut via new york international airport (later to be jfk) in 1958. and by december a baby brother was born in the usa. in 1964 we got american citizenship and a another sister was born. my dad passed in 2012 and is buried in a grave plot about a block away from our windsor locks home that he bought in 1959. pps on july 19. 1969 my dads 39th birthday he signed paper buying a pasture/wood lot. and on july 20 we watched man landing on the moon with neil Armstrong's famous words one small step for man and one giant leap for mankind.

I wonder where my buddy "Pinky" is now. I met him in 1972, in Houston Texas. He was a Korean War vet. He had caught a burst of 51. Caliber machine-gun bullets across his belly. I was a 20 year old disabled veteran myself. I've never forgotten the deep wounds on his body. I helped him out by replacing the clutch in his car.

I would like to say a prayer for a dear friend who fought in North Korea at the Chosin Reservoir. He was wounded and received the Purple Heart. He has since passed away and his wisdom is very much missed! He rarely spoke about his experience there, but when he did it was with great reverence and humility. God bless you Bill for your service to our Great Country, the United States of America!

My grandpa was in the USAs 508 PIR 82nd A/B Div. In WW2 as a medic with rank of Capt.. From Normandy ( DDAy 6/61944 ) , to " Operation Market Garden " in Holland , and wounded in the Ardennes mid 12/1944 ( Battle of The Bulge ") . Reluctantly told some nasty experiences , especially when , after he was patched up from his wounds , had to assist Army medics assisting concentration camp victims . Also , he said the vicious , grim fighting in Normandy's *Bocage * , or hedgerow country took alot of lives from both Allied ,vAnd Nazi- soldiers . Anyway , I knew the A/B 187th Regimental Combat Team was a unit from the USAs 101st A/B . I didn't know that the 82nd A/B Div. fought in Korea ?

First off we all should THANK ALL of those men who fought for our own freedoms. These kids went into a war zone, which killed thousands and thousands and thousands of them. That man's comments in the fist part of this video about kids being boxers being released into the boxing ring was eerie, since as soon as those kids saw what they were facing it became more and more horrific and terrifying. Seeing fellow soldiers as he said 10-15 feet away from you being killed, I cannot even comprehend what those kids were going through, feeling, and experiencing. The bravery that they showed is incredible, amazing, and they all deserve our respect, our admiration, and our thanks. Many kids, sons, brothers, nephews, friends, or other family members went to war. Many never returned, some who did return came back seriously injured, disabled, but all of them as far as I'm concerned are HEROES! EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM! God Bless these people, their families, their friends, and all of those affected by this horrific war, and those people who are still in areas of war. Pray that someday soon, the insanity of war will end, and I pray that we will someday find peace. 🙏 RIP🙏🕊 to all of the people who lost their lives fighting for people they never knew or met before, but also fighting for OUR FREEDOMS as well. Your service will never ever be forgotten and it will always be remembered and respected greatly.

One would think that we would finally learn. We did not listen to our predecessors -- our founders and our spiritual leaders of the past. Too soon our nation ignored their warnings against entangling alliances, being too eager to become involved in foreign wars and conflicts. We have paid a horrible price in blood and wealth over a century now and still we are foolishly engaging in more wars. We have lost far too much of the genetic heritage of our best men, and what remains of our wealth is being measured as collateral by people, by nations, that we felt superior to not too many decades ago. Yes. one would think that we would finally learn.
