am grateful for fighting for the poorest country where had any hope. | Пусть наш Бог хранит Үкраїну.

[@MonumentToSin]

Oh hey, I didn't realize there were so few surviving veterans left. My grandpa and granduncle were both there, fighting for the American army, and they're relatively healthy for their age. I never think of them as a "disappearing" generation. I spent a year working in Incheon last year and I showed them pictures of it when I got home. My grandpa and granduncle were like, "Oh hey, we've been there! Except the North Koreans were shooting at us when we arrived haha!"

[@peters4115]

Considering there was 900k+ South Korean casualties/wounded compared to 36k American casualties/wounded, there was a lot less veterans that survived. And that’s not even considering S.K. was pretty poor in the aftermath of the war, and many of the best soldiers from that era went on to fight in Vietnam for the U.S. as mercenaries. I’m afraid not many young men from that generation were gonna get a chance to die from old age.

[@MonumentToSin]

@@peters4115 Yeah, my grandfather is too stubborn to die lol. He actually fought in Vietnam as well, did three tours there and retired from the army. Doesn't talk about it tho. But I'm sure he has some crazy stories.

My own father fought in the Korean War, from New Zealand called the Kayforce Contingent under the UN. Dad would never talk about the war when I'd ask him other than saying, "war is not a subject one can talk about". However he would talk about the beauty he saw in the land, the rivers, the mountain, the culture which is understandable he would mention these things, especially when our own fabric of life is very much woven with the threads of culture, indigeneity, land, rivers, mountains and the people.

I lived in S. Korea and Japan for a very long time. I became close to an 86 year old Japanese man who still tells me stories of WW2. I hope Mr. Yoo can do some more public speaking about his journey through the Korean War. I miss Korea!

[@quasar7055]

Prudence Christine What stories can be told by Japanese soldier？ About how they killed Chinese citizens cruelly and raped Chinese women？

[@aus-li]

I'm curious as to what he said as well?

[@leexingha]

@@quasar7055 its the very least a japanese would tell

[@cali4tune]

I understand that a lot of people have trouble letting go of the pain inflicted on them and their families by the Japanese in WW2. Please do consider that Japan also paid a heavy price for what they did. Also that the people of Japan didn't have much communication with people outside of Japan and only knew what they were taught... and what they were taught was very wrong indeed but the common person couldn't have known or stopped it.

[@usbagels]

@@cali4tune Sadly that still goes on today. Their government holds their media tightly, and most citizens don't care too much. Half and half for me. Can't quite blame the people, because their higher up's manipulation, but at the same time they still haven't - even refuse to come to terms. Can't blame the others for the hate

his story about visiting the seoul national cemetery and feeling guilty that he was able survive paying his respects to his fellow brothers in arms and how he should've been buried with them too brought a tear to my eye.

[@jessicalodi5338]

His eyes still radiate strength and honest passion for what he did. Real hero.

[@hillaryplatt8235]

14:00 the fact that at such a young age he would rather die on his feet than live on his knees.... 👏👏👏👏👏 The world needs more people like this.

[@hakssaeng6231]

As soon as he mentioned he was a student soldier, I thought about 71: Into the Fire. That was a sad and tragic event. This man was a boy when he volunteered and almost died fighting for his country. He has my respect. My father also fought in Korea in the U.S. army, but rarely talked about it. The few times he related some things sounded awful. We can only hope that one day Korea will be united again and be at peace.

[@ulfnowotny01]

Thank you so much for the enlightening interview! Peace wishes from Germany!

[@JohnAnderson-Catfish]

Excellent interview, I’m beyond understanding the magnitude of war even knowing my father served in world war 2

Real Hero and Brave Warrior

Salute Sir 🙋‍♀ You are a hero

I visited the Korean War Memorial last year in DC at the same time as a group of US Korean War vets visited. As the veterans left, a group of East Asian visitors bowed toward the vets as they themselves were about to visit the Memorial. Maybe it was the East Asian tradition of respecting elders or maybe they were Korean, but I felt privileged to witness that exchange.

Cheers for visiting the MemorialTT | Миру мир!

Much respect for Mr. Yoo. I can understand why he'd feel so guilty about living when his fellow soliders died. Survivor guilt... But really to honor them, I think it's important that he lives out his life, teach others about the horros of war, and to promote peace and prevent wars from happening again. Younger kids should respect veterans more. They need to realize that they're not just 'old people'. They're the ones that risked their lives for the future & our sake. Many are physically and or mentally traumatized and have been living with it.

[@boomer808]

What a great man! God Bless Mr Yoo! Thank you for your bravery in difficult times!

[@thestrategist5579]

This was a very powerful and emotional short film of an historical event, not just an interview. This man should not feel guilty about not being in a cemetery today. Any selfish and clueless person not giving up his or her seat on a bus or train for this simple man, should feel guilty and pretty pathetic after not fully understanding the history and for taking what one has today so cheaply and for granted. Yes, there's way too much corruption of the heart and soul today by so many people, even the young without knowing . respects, peace

[@teksaucee]

What a fantastic human being

[@1k1ngst0n]

thank you for doing this interview and recording history

[@precytocal8081]

Filipino's also fought for the democracy of Korean country during that time.but the generation today didn't know that story.

[@Doraemonnm]

Thank you for your service sir.

[@LimingLyn]

An awesome interview. Once a year we thank our veterans. We should be thanking them moreas without their sacrifice, South Korea would be a different world. He mentioned there was no training just here's the weapon just go fight. However, South Korea learned from the past and now a 2 year military service is mandatory for all male citizens between 18-30. Should war breakout, they are prepared. I support our vets how ever I can. My grandpas served in WW1 and would have done WW2 if he was not injured. Thanks for the video.

[@aritzag246]

What amazes me the most about Mr. Yoo is that even though he saw and lived many horrors during the war, his spirit did not shattered. It is said that eyes are the windows of your soul....I see peace in his eyes.
