How can you call him a traitor if he fought for his home, he'd be a traitor if he went to china to fight for china for a country that's not his home against his country which is his home, makes no sense

Even stupid can tell that he is for his own coward life, not the United States, at that monment to say he is a Chinese, and then, apparently he betrayed his creed and chose to use excuse "fight for American" to get himself a coward live. Traitor is not a suitable word, and coward are obviously more suitable for him. Of course one I think a coward is obviously a traitor who betrayed himself.

That’s amazing that the Chinese fell for it. As a Chinese speaker myself, i can say that wasn’t exactly the best mandarin; he pronounced the cantonese word for “fire/shoot” (玩火) instead of mandarin when he told them not shoot. He also made some grammatical errors & said “bu kai huo” (不開火) where it would be more grammatically correct if he was to says “bie kai huo” (別開火). He’s a lucky man the Chinese soldiers didn’t pick up on that. EDIT: Actually, “kai huo (開火)” is ok, it literally means “open fire” (i.e: typically you say if you were shooting cannons or something). If he was to have said “bie kai chang (別開槍)” meaning “don’t shoot (your gun)” colloquially would be better.

The logic doesn’t make sense, MAJ Lee is an Asian American who were born and raised in the states, therefore he chose to join and fought with his fellow brothers is totally normal just like other American soldiers, he has all his right to do so and yes indeed he is an American hero without a doubt.

YouthSpirited, shame. His homeland is where he lives. He is an American of Chinese descent, just as I am an American of African descent. That's all he can be having declared his faith and trust in America. However it does not stop me from being proud of my ancestral background. What say you?

M M2 He's a hero and you seem like a damn idiot. He wasn't fighting for Imperialism he was fighting for freedom. If brave men like him hadn't gone to fight, I highly doubt an ignorant pee on like you would. South Korea is better off for what men like him did and there's no way to argue otherwise if you just look at the communist north.

I don't think his ancestry was ever put to question. However, he knows that he is an American. Your points are all circumstantial. China had a civil war. Till this day, Africa continuously has numerous civil wars. If you were put on the frontline as Americans fights Africans, who would you fight for?

The idiots that call this hero a traitor has no shame and honor, and they themselves has never served. We veterans has a saying...Once you wear that uniform and fought for this country we are the eternal brothers regardless if you black, Asian, or white. Our great country was built on immigrants that embrace diversity, and those who think otherwise are pure stupidity. Peace Ranger Forward

In world war two nazis who spoke english were doing the same thing, and the allies said that this was a war crime, the japanese in the pacific were pretending to surrender and then pulling a grenade or whipping out a sidearm to kill the soldiers he'd just "surrendered" to. I'm not questioning this mans bravery, and he deserves respect from the American people, however I will say that what he did was questionable.

Take the media, why the fuck are we restricted in the media?? because people in the arm chairs stereotype asians, we're not deemed bankable, people turn off due to their preconceptions about asians, the media is just black and white! its nearly an asian free zone!!!

So what? Chinese soldiers killed Chinese soldiers during the Chinese civil war which ended around one year before the Korean war. What would the Chinese elders feel after they learned about their children killing each other. Btw if Taiwan and China were to fight each other, what will the people in Fujian feel? Because most people in Taiwan are Hokkien people, and they have relatives in Fujian as well. And also during the cultural revolution, the red guards who were pro communist fanatics sold out their elders for being too traditional and anti-maoist. Ideologies, nationalism, politics. These stuffs destroy families. Look at Singapore and Malaysia, there are Chinese people living in those countries. Singaporeans have relatives in Malaysia and Malaysians have relatives living in Singapore. But many of them in both sides view each other as adversaries. You thought about how the descendants of those Communist Chinese soldiers feel after learning about an Chinese American soldier repelling them off. Let me ask you, how will their ANCESTORS feel? Will they smile upon knowing who are the victors in the war?
