It's literally Koreans fighting each other and committing atrocities the whole time. Shut the fuck up. Also, who west of St. Petersburg uses the term "brother war?"

>>64239759
NTA but they're korean so they're bugs, they have no concept of brotherly love.

>>64239696 (OP)
A very forgettable war. Idk why anyone finds it interesting. Chinese successfully zerg'd until they took heavy casualties and implemented a cease fire. That's really all there happened nothing more but lots of death and poor strategic/tactical decisions from both sides. Most people want to hear cool stories not much cool is said about this snooze cruise.

>>64239696 (OP)
the war is underrated but the mountainous terrain was absolutely brutal, especially in winter, and the war absolutely was a political retardfest at the high level if it technically still being ongoing somehow failed to tip you off

Korea destroyed Truman's presidency. Ironically, LBJ was terrified of Vietnam doing the same thing to him, so he took a series of steps that in the long run would make Vietnam worse.

Its like WWII DLC where we get to see a lot of the cool shit that was late to the party show up with several classic plane and tank designs getting their last hurrah. Pretty cool war, however due to the retarded (not in a fun way) politics and the weak sauce ending its a 7/10, though I'll bump it to an 8 because my grandpappy fought in it

It definitely had one of the coolest air wars. Saber vs MiG is about the most perfect match-up in the history of air combat. The B-29 raids were absolutely apocalyptic. Post-war super props got to enjoy ground attack heaven. IL2 Korea please be good

>>64239696 (OP)
It was a boring mix of WW2 and WW1 tactics, lacked the sound track and exotic backdrop of Nam

>>64239759
The korean war was basically a moba where the USSR and US were the summoners, the Koreans where the creeps on both sides and the Chinese were the super minions that got unleashed when the Busan inhibitor was destroyed

>>64239696 (OP)
You'd get bum-rushed by thousands of suicidal Chinamen at night and not even know how to aim your gun (and then they'd all die anyway)

It had no real interesting leaders besides Ridgeway (McArthur had become a completely one-note retard by this point) and no huge risks or shocking upsets in tactics or technology; it was basically a brood war TvT match played by two equally skilled players that just sputtered out in a stalemate

If MacArthur had been more careful, could he have ended up with a small North Korea as a buffer zone along the Yalu River?

>>64240033
Maybe, but if he didn't leave his troops completely exposed as they were sweeping north korea the chinese wouldn't be able to retake it regardless. UN had no plans about occupying the north anyway so it'd be handed over to south Koreans at best to deal with their sovietized brethren.

However the real best case solution would've been nuking soviets the moment they tried to chime in and ending cold war altogether.

>>64240033
If truman was more based we could've had less chinamen fucking up everything on the planet.

>>64240050
>UN had no plans about occupying the north anyway so it'd be handed over to south Koreans at best to deal with their sovietized brethren.
They could probably reconsider if they had to fight off chinese attacks over it for some time though, if only just to deny this land to chinks and teach them a lesson.

>>64239696 (OP)
Temps hit literally -40C/-40F on the front multiple times. It was a record cold front not seen since.

>>64240059
MacArthur's nuclear plan would have killed Koreans and Mongols in Inner Mongolia.

He wanted to drop a cobalt belt on the Yalu and Tumen rivers, which would also kill Koreans in Yanbian.

He wanted to drop nuclear bombs in ghe chicken's neck, which would massacre ethnic Mongols in Inner Mongolia.

China later did both of these anyway.

In the 1967-1969 massacres, many Mongols and Koreans were tortured to death and raped by Han Red guard cadres on the basis of their ethnicity in the Inner Mongolia incident and massacres in Yanbian.

The CCP raped and massacred hundreds of thousands of ethnic Mongols in Inner Mongolia during the "Inner Mongolia incident" as well as killing and raping ethnic Koreans in Yanbian Prefecture.

They literally sent trains filled with Korean corpses to the North Korean side of the border.

Both of these massacres were during the 1960s and done on an ethnic basis.

Some flavor of "Why are you here in the mud bleeding and dying in/for [insert country or cause or leader] when you could be safe at home with your [family/wife/gf]" dates to at least the 19th century as a propaganda technique and reached its peak during the two world wars.

While similar, the squints added an anticapitalist bit to it which is unique to commies. More my point was that it is literally the exact same lines they use now.

>>64240059
>>64240033
Turtledove wrote a series where Truman allows McArthur to use nukes in korea which sparks off WW3.

Which is interesting because I rarely ever see ww3 scenarios not set in the 80s or later on

I'm pretty sure I am reincarnated from a Marine in the Korean war. There is a picture of a guy at chosin with my exact likeness, even my parents thought it was me larping. I think it explains my life choices, my wife is Korean, and I took the same career path, and this was years before I saw the picture. Strange world.

>>64240050
>so it'd be handed over to south Koreans at best to deal with their sovietized brethren
come the fuck on now.
The norks at that point had been a state for 5, 7 years at best. They're more japanese than soviet.

>>64240663
It wouldn't spark a ww3 if it's immediately ended, like it would have during that time. Soviets had no chance of stopping US bombers without SAMs and their own nuclear project netted them a single digit number of prototype-tier nukes carried by their B-29 copies. At worst they would load a plane and manage to nuke Berlin or Hamburg out of spite while their FRG-deployed forces throw themselves at NATO using their remaining supplies and ammo.

I've actually researched the topic quite a lot and made a number of posts in related threads over the years here about it. Some of them are more nuanced and interesting but the 50s and to a lesser extent 80s that everyone is obsessed with are honestly not.

>>64240721
No way show it. What field of work?

>>64239696 (OP)
Nobody wanted to be in fucking Korea.

>>64240756
Soviets were pretty adapt at finding and killing any intellectual, community leader or exemplary person in a country they overtook in a matter of days and always seeking and profiling them beforehand even when their invasion plans were a total slapdash. They could probably be fixed but the damage was done for sure.

>>64240764

Army warrant or some other service with a degree? Asking because I'm at the end of my contract and thinking about getting out to finish my degree and then commission to fly. 11b btw

>>64241181
Nah, but I almost went warrant for the Army. I got my bachelors while I was (cheapest degree mill that was recognized) and commissioned. One of my buddies made the switch about a year or so before me and is flying apaches now though.

>>64241200
While I was still in*, I considered WOFT, but at the time I was already getting close with my degree, so I decided to stick it out for chance at getting something with a pointy nose.

>>64241209
I'm not sure about the future of attack helicopters with all the seats for apaches getting cut in the pipeline as of now, so I've been leaning more towards commissioning. Also going back and forth on reupping because the whole infantry thing has not been what I was promised when I enlisted.
What service would you recommend for trying to fly jets, it seems the navy is a more sure chance for anything in aviation, the airforce is difficult through ots and I know nothing about the marines other than I'd have to do more ranger school style shit as part of commissioning.

>>64239696 (OP)

I think Navy or Marines is your best option. I'm not 100% up to speed on USAF, but in general their O recruiters (when I could even reach them) had said to expect an 18+ month wait to go to OTS, and it was my understanding that they don't guarantee a pilot slot like the Navy or Marines does. With that said, your prospects of doing rotary wing in the USN/USMC is likely since we have more of them. As far as commissioning through the Marines, you'll need to go to TBS, which is an infantry-lite course, but I wouldn't equate it to ranger school. Having said that from the Navy side, jets are as expected highly desirable, but theres a lot of guys who want to do P-8s and rotary wing, so that might thin out the competition. I will say you can pretty reliably get an aviator slot if you score well on the ASTB, I'd recommend checking out Air Warriors for more. Myself, and most, if not all of my (Navy) classmates, got selected immediately without going to board because of our scores, mostly because we all applied late in the fiscal year after regular quotas had run dry.

>>64239696 (OP)
Isn’t Korea subtropical for like half the year?

>>64240807
Once a marine, always a marine applies to any subsequent lives a marine may live

>>64241292
Only the Navy has you select a designation before going to OCS, which has the upside of you not going and hoping to get a slot but knowing that you're going as a pilot, though there is no distinction between rotary and jet during entry so it is a crapshoot there.

>>64241292
I appreciate the information, especially regarding the prospects of getting fighter/bomber as most of the people I've talked to about this have kinda glossed over that aspect of the pipeline which I kinda assumed was just survivorship bias.
Do you enjoy what you do? My current issue with being a retard with a gun is not being able to do the job. I've deployed but its always just been boring and not actually participating in a conflict other than being the target of incoming munitions. I guess I'm worried about investing all this effort and time into becoming an operational aviator and never getting to conduct real missions or blow things up. I know this is just a luck of the draw thing with timing and the military will always just be training cycle after training cycle, but I'd like to know if you enjoy your current work.

I'm only a student, but after reflection, every day has been a blast. Its nice just having to worry about yourself and not be a tard wrangler for the time being. With that said, it is pretty tiring, I've done back to back flights each day (minus weekends) for the past 10 days or so, and it is definitely exhausting. I can't really speak to the fleet side of things yet, but in the red sea it seemed like fighter pilots and rotary wing pilots were getting some out there. The Navy uses the Seahawk for attack a lot more than I would have thought.

The war actually lasts something like 2-3 years and is mostly conventional because neither side has any magazine debth with their nukes so you have long stretches of conventional battles followed by a few cities getting nuked every once in a while.

I know that the idea is to draw a contrast between the harsh conditions that their people endured and what that says about them, versus the relative luxury of the UN forces, but they didn't have to show the Americans in such a positive light. It's a pretty interesting choice for such a nationalist endeavour, not going full propaganda film in that regard at least.

>>64244162
>but they didn't have to show the Americans in such a positive light
TV and movie producers have to be a bit careful how they depict foreigner countries, if the CCP is trying to warm relations with a country at a certain time, a very negative depiction of that country may result in you production not being shown, you don't want to be accused of damaging the foreign policy goals of the CCP. Japan is always fair game though.

Mao had two sons and a paternal nephew.

Mao's paternal nephew Mao Yuanxin was born on 14 February 1941.

Mao's grandson Mao Xinyu was born to his second son Mao Anqing.

The nephew Mao Yuanxin was of age to succeed Mao Zedong when he died. He wasn't allowed to because none of the party factions wpuld slow hereditary rule.

Mao Yuanxin is still alive today. If he was allowed to rule he would still be leading China today and the grandson Mao Xinyu would succeed him

>He comes across Nagamatsu and Yasuda again. They claim to have survived on monkey meat and are living in the forest. Later, Nagamatsu goes out saying he will hunt more monkeys. When Tamura mentions he has a grenade, Yasuda steals it. Tamura leaves to find Nagamatsu and witnesses him attempting to shoot another man, realizing with a shock what the "monkey meat" really is. Nagamatsu turns the gun toward Tamura, who saves himself by pretending he still has the grenade. Nagamatsu tells Tamura they would be dead if they did not resort to cannibalism.

>They head back to camp, but when Tamura mentions that Yasuda has his grenade, Nagamatsu says they will have to kill him or be killed. After tricking Yasuda into spending the grenade, Nagamatsu runs off and stakes out the only source of water in the area. After several days, Yasuda tries to bargain for water, to no avail. When he makes his way to the water anyway, Nagamatsu shoots him and begins butchering his body for meat. Tamura becomes disgusted and shoots Nagamatsu.

I think you're slightly off the mark, it's usually not about being home with a family. Soldiers are generally too young to have a family of their own. It's usually about the other men, usually richer older men outside the draft age, staying at home and fucking the women that you could have had and will never have because you're dying at 19. Like straight up incelposting but old fashioned and actually true for every poor draftee that caught a bullet.

At least it used to be like that in all the old leaflets, now Ukraine and Russia are throwing 55 year olds at each other. The modern propaganda leaflet is probably saying your daughter is on Polish Tinder and the army will give you crutches while your brother who fled to Germany gets a titanium hip.
(The only Russian leaflets I've actually seen were mega retarded and tried to justify why they were correct in the war instead of any of this time honored psychology).

>Communist party in China were never going to allow family rule.
My guy, Mao's widow was one of the Gang of Four and they were deposed in a coup by the commander of the Central Guard Bureau, not by "the Party".

>>64248656
Read carefully again.

Mao had a paternal nephew AND a second son, and his grandson Mao Xinyu was born to the second schizophrenic son Mao Anqing.

Mao Zedong's paternal nephew Mao Yuanxin was fully mentally sound and an adult when Mao Zedong died. Mao Yuanxin did not have schizophrenia.

He was blocked from succeeeding his uncle in 1976, and he is still alive today.

If the Communist party allowed family rule, the nephew Mao Yuanxin would be ruling right now and the grandson Mao Xinyu would be waiting to succeed him.

Mao Xinyu doesn't have schizophrenia either.
>>64248763
Jiang Qing is not part of the Mao family, and not the mother of either of his sons. She also didn't succeed Mao, she was part of the gang of four and only wielded power WHILE HE WAS ALIVE. He appointed her to that position.

She was immediately arrested after his death.

Women are part of their father's families and don't take their husband's surnames.

Mao Yuanxin wanted to become party chairman and succeed Mao Zedong,he wasn't allowed to.

Mao Yuanxin was arrested on October 1976 for being a supporter of the Gang of Four and sentenced to 17 years in prison

He was only released from jail in October 1993, and now lives off a pension.

Internal party politics stopped Mao Yuanxin from taking power and holding the place for Mao Xinyu.

Families in China are made out of paternal relatives with the same surname.

>>64248656
>>64248914
I explicitly mentioned Mao's nephew (his brother's son) as successor because I knew some idiot would bring up the second son having schizophrenia.

If thw party allowed hereditary rule, Mao's nephew would rule as placeholder for the grandson born to the second son.

Both nephew and grandson were mentally sound and were members of the Mao family.

Mao would have banned his eldest son from going to Korea if he was the only one from the next generation.

He had a nephew, cousins and other relatives all from the Mao family.

The Communist party factions were never going to allow hereditary rule.

>>64248656
>>64248763
>>64248927
China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokeswoman Mao Ning is a relative of Mao Zedong from his hometown. She still works for the MFA now.

She was born in 1972 to her father Mao Yifa, a younger cousin of Mao Zedong's father Mao Yichang.

Mao Yifa was also of age to succeeed Mao Zedong in 1976.

None of the party factions would allow any member of the Mao family to rule after Mao Zedong died.

They even added it as an official party rule banning hereditary succession to stop Mao Yuanxin and all his cousins.

The North Korean party by contrast doesn't have tens of millions of members with factions controlling entire provinces.

North Koeea itself is the size of a small Chinese province.

In China, if Mao Yuanxin tried to seize power, entire party factions across multiple provinces would oust him and scream about how hereditary succession is against communism.

>>64242468
US had 300 nukes by the beginning of Korea, that's more than enough to double tap every major logistical node and population center in the soviet union, with a couple left for the chinese. Moscow's deep reinforced subway stations weren't opened prior to the end of Korean war either so they don't even have the benefit of forcing US to do ground bursts over the city. It's really not even comparable.

Soviets didn't even have radars that could track US bombers at high altitude prior to their adoption of the CPS-6 copy they started making based on atomic spy docmuments just in 1949 and not reaching comprehensive numbers until 1952. So there's a high chance that soviets wouldn't even know what hit them most of the time.

>>64244052
Korea didn't involve mass conscription(not that most of them were fighting in Vietnam) and was relatively shorter so fewer people got maimed and wounded compared to vietnam. It also didn't have a completely hostile media industry vilifying the soldiers at every step.

>>64242642
Lmao i remember you asking this

>>64249931
The Korean War was massively unpopular in the US, probably even moreso than Vietnam as far as how mainstream the discontent was. WW2 veterans trying to raise their families were getting recalled back to active duty, and the general public couldn't understand why the casualty rates were so high for what was advertised by the government as a police action in an impovershed shithole corner of the world, especially as the news of communist atrocities and brainwashing made its way back to the US. Before the war there wasn't even a linguistically agreed upon translation of the word Korea to English.

A North Korean census report from Russian archives indicates a population decline of about 20% (from 9.37 million in 1948 to 7.43 million in 1953), though official North Korean figures for 1953 were higher at 8.49 million, suggesting discrepancies possibly due to fleeing civilians or underreporting. Russian estimates cited in South Korean reports put civilian casualties at 1.2 million (including 282,000 killed in bombings and 796,000 missing or fled), with total war losses potentially up to 2.5

North Korea needs more vetting : (

South Korea is subtropical at 35 degrees N at Busan. But the famous bits of the fighting stories happened in the winter in the mountains of North Korea much closer to the cold continental Asian climate. It was also just colder than normal that winter. Look up where the Chosin Reservoir is

most famous is the manhattan program and lend lease to soviet union during ww2. but less known is the circumstances how brits handed over their state of the art jet engine for nothing to the SU which immediately copied it and stuffed it into the mig-15. Even Stalin couldn't believe the stupidity of it. Which then went on to kill americans in the korean war

>>64261225
yes, but what about two P-51s smooshed together? More stronk, more engines, and more dakka.

>>64261784
The F-51 was used as a stopgap by the USAF during the first few years of the war until they could shit out enough jet fighters to counter the new MiG 15s. The USAF generally used older equipment and kept all the fancy toys in Europe or in the US Air Defence Command in case the USSR fucked around. This actually worked out well at first, since the Mustangs were efficient enough to fly to Korea and back from Japan. Pilots stationed in Japan would literally wake up with their families, drive to work and spend the day firebombing Chinsects, then fly home and be back in time for dinner.

The US government funded Japanese unit 731 scientists to conduct biological germ tests on Japanese civilians after World War II, including Japanese children.

https://theguardian.newspapers.com/clip/122763034/postwar-japan-us-backed-japans-germ/


From 1983 UK Observer scoop - "Experiments on human guinea pigs by members of the Japanese germ warfare unit continued in Japan after the war with the help of secret funding from the American Government"

Multiple Japanese including a child died from the experiments and another committed suicide after being used as a guinea pig.

"The ostensible purpose of the work was to develop vaccines to fight disease... The money for the experiments came from the American 406th Division, part of the occupation forces... A number of Japanese doctors associated with Unit 731 were signed up as advisers...."

"To test treatments for scrub typhus, the team instructed researchers to infect patients in a mental hospital in Niigata." Between 1953-1956, 118 patients were infected. Nine died, "another committed suicide rather than continue as a human guinea pig."

"An investigation by the Tokyo Justice Ministry concluded that no permission from relatives had been obtained for the experiments, and there was no question of the tests being a form of treatment to 'cure' the patients, as the hospital claimed."

Finally, I want to give credit to British researchers, Peter Williams and David Wallace. Their 1989 book, "Unit 731: The Japanese Army's Secret of Secrets," referenced the Observer article. The US printing of the book deleted the chapter the reference was in, so make sure you use the British edition by Hodder & Stoughton if you want to follow up this reference.

US funded Unit 731 scientists experimenting on Japanese children in the 1950s

>In incidents throughout the 1950s, former Unit 731 members infected prisoners and mental health patients with deadly diseases.[37] In 1958, a large number of infants were brought to Kobe Medical School and forcibly administered sugar by having needles inserted through their noses and into their stomachs. A tube was inserted into their anuses to determine how the sugar was processed by their digestive systems. Many of the infants experienced diarrhea and anal bleeding. The parents were never informed that their children were being used as test subjects.[38]

Another example of brutality by an ex-731 member allowed to practise medicine after the war was the Nagoya nursery case, in 1952. Jiro Ogawa, head of paediatrics at Nagoya City University Hospital, instructed his staff to apply E Colt bacteria to babies in his care to test whether they caused diarrhoea as he suspected.

An epidemic of colitis broke out in the nursery, causing the death of one little girl. Jiro Ogawa and his brother TohrU published their results in a Japanese bacteriology magazine.

The communist army only used two people to fight against one person in the Western army. The Western army had air and sea supremacy, and the number of tanks was several times greater than that of the communist army. The communist army could compete with the Western army purely by relying on light infantry.

When the Chinese Communist Party defeated the Kuomintang in 1949, the total strength of China's regular field army reached 5.5 million, not counting the over 10 million militiamen.

In 1950, the Chinese army sent only 1.4 million troops to the Korean War, representing only 28%–33% of China's total regular field army strength at the time.

By 2025, the total strength of China's regular army had been reduced to 2 million, with over 8 million militiamen and reserve forces. Without conscription, 10 million troops could be mobilized at any time.

You may not believe it, but China boasts the most geographically advantageous land on Earth. A key reason why China's heavy industry and logistics industries lead the world is because China's territory is rich in rivers and lakes, making them ideal for hydroelectric power stations and inland waterway transportation. The transport capacity of inland waterway transportation far exceeds that of rail and air transport.

China boasts the largest power generation capacity on Earth, competitive electricity prices, and advantages in transportation costs, resulting in no country in the world being able to compete with China in terms of industrial product prices and production costs. Furthermore, China lacks active volcanoes or major tornadoes, a unique geographical advantage shared by neither the United States, Russia, nor India.

Thus, historically, China has shown little interest in the barren lands of other Asian countries.

I'm glad you see it this way. In the 1950 Korean War, China, despite having no numerical advantage in troop numbers or weaponry, was able to hold its own against the United Nations forces, including the United States. Currently, there's no generational gap between the US and China in weaponry. China even has a military advantage over the US in main battle tanks, unmanned combat robots, unmanned fighter jets, laser weapons, and microwave weapons. Hopefully, in the event of a future war, the US military will truly be able to outmaneuver ten or even a hundred enemy troops. Because the US is currently experiencing a manufacturing vacuum, China's industrial production capacity is far greater, and the number of combat robots it can deploy on the battlefield will far exceed the US average.

sorry guys I broke the shill and now he's restarting his whole spiel from the top

the korean war kind of negates the idea of american experience, doesn't it?

You forgot the best part of the Korean War annon

>>64278471

Why did China not reunify Korea then?

>>64281562
Because China had experienced the largest civil war in history before 1949, China needed time to recuperate and restore its national strength. When it participated in the Korean War, China was at its weakest. The Soviet Union asked China to join the Korean War, and China needed to gain the Soviet Union's political trust and industrial and agricultural assistance before it was forced to join the war.

China has historically had no interest in North Korea. The Korean territory does not have the mineral and agricultural resources that China needs. Occupying North Korea will only deplete China's national strength, just as Britain, the Soviet Union and the United States could not occupy Afghanistan for a long time.

>>64281562
All you need to know is that before China officially entered the war in 1950, North Korea's main army was almost defeated by the United States. If China really wanted to occupy North Korea at that time, it would not have needed to expend much energy. In the end, China chose to help the dying North Korea repel the attack of the US army because China at that time desperately needed the Soviet Union's help to build a complete industrial system.

>>64282022
The Mongols once invaded the Holy Roman Empire's borders, but their supreme ruler was killed by a trebuchet used by the Song Dynasty army during the Battle of Diaoyucheng in China. This led to the withdrawal of most of the Mongol forces that had invaded Europe and the Middle East, sparking the largest civil war in Mongol history as a struggle for power.

The Mongol invasion of the West took place in the 13th century AD. Europe in the 13th century was very backward and poor. Even the Eastern Romans and Turks called Western Europeans barbarians. The Eastern Roman Empire was just an ordinary country in the eyes of the Mongols because they had seen China, which was richer and more powerful than the Eastern Roman Empire.

In fact, even with only a small number of troops stationed in the Middle East and West Asia, the Mongol army was able to maintain regional hegemony for a long time. The Mongol army once fought against the Eastern Roman Empire and easily defeated the Eastern Roman army in a single battle. However, the majority of the Mongol army engaged in intense fighting with the Southern Song Dynasty for forty years, making the Mongol army's battles in China extremely difficult.

>>64282119
Mongols also never captured Diaoyu by siege.

Diaoyu voluntarily capitulated in exchange for total amnesty, because the Southern Song government got cut off from them.

China's deployment of approximately one million troops to the Korean War was reasonable, as cross-border warfare presents significant logistical challenges. The United States possesses air and sea superiority, and relying on convoys and ships to deliver food, weapons, and ammunition to the Korean front would be vulnerable to attack by the US Air Force and Navy. China's only reliable mode of transportation was foot transport by logistics personnel, a capability that was insufficient to sustain the daily needs of over one million troops in North Korea.

Western media outlets maliciously smear China, claiming it relied on its sheer numbers to defeat the UN forces, are untrue. They never consider the staggering daily demands for food, water, medicine, weapons, and ammunition required to sustain millions of troops. The Chinese army in 1950 couldn't have possessed such extensive logistical support. North Korea lacks extensive farmland and livestock, making it difficult to even sustain the daily needs of its civilian population, let alone distribute surplus food to its millions of troops. North Korea remains heavily dependent on food imports from China and Russia to avoid widespread famine.

I agree. There was a whole age bracket of Western men who missed out on fighting in WW2, it would have been incredibly sad if they had also missed out on stacking some chinks.

Remind me how many Chinese dog eaters got wasted vs how many Western troops died? Although to be fair the chinks were starving at the time since Commie China couldn't organize enough rice for them. Actually it's a miracle they didn't resort to eating other Chinamen, as is their wont throughout history. Or maybe they did?

The Korean War lasted over three years. At the time, North Korea had a total population of only nine million. If China had sent three or even five million troops to fight in Korea, the number of Chinese troops would have been close to half of North Korea's total population. If the Chinese army relied on cannibalism to survive, they could have slaughtered and consumed all North Koreans in just one year. Do you think this conforms to common sense in the real world?

However, China fought in North Korea for over three years during this war, and China was able to maintain stable logistical supplies for three years. This suggests that the total number of troops China sent to Korea could not have been too large, unless the US Air Force and Navy were completely incompetent.

In fact, it's precisely because of the Korean War that the Chinese still believe the US military's combat effectiveness is extremely weak, and the Chinese have never been afraid of the US. The result of this war prevented the US from instilling fear in the Chinese, as it did in the Middle East. The subsequent US defeat in the Vietnam War further led to the Chinese people's contempt for the US military.

Koreans suffered the biggest death toll in the Korean war and made up 100% of the rape victims.

Turkish soldiers even killed South Korean soldiers before the battle of Wawon and falsely reported them as Chinese killed.

South Korean and other UN nation's casualties aren't included in the US death toll.

Since when is war "fun"? Since when are the early 1950s "modern"?
