mothball50 ::: Favorites I did a school report about Koto Ri. The Marines had awarded an Army reservist the Navy Cross posthumously. He was Col. John Page who led a counterstrike of mostly Marines against Chinese soldiers in pursuit of American troops during the Chosin retreat. Chesty Puller assigned Page that task over his own Marine officers. Page was later killed in action, also while also providing protection for the rear at Chosin. 07-10-03 20:56:14 __________________________________________________
DonMeaker ::: Favorites The US Army, 7th Division, 31st Regimental Combat Team won a Navy Presidential Unit Citation. They stopped a flank attack by 2 chinese divisions in 4 days, then acted as the rear guard for the Marines. 07-09-15 16:06:27 __________________________________________________

DanFlan92 ::: Favorites after this battle those marines that did not die named themselves the "Chosin Few" because Chosin is pronounced "chosen" 07-08-21 19:55:11 __________________________________________________
rockavenger ::: Favorites My studies have mostly been focused on X Corps and such. It sounds like good read though, I'll have to pick it up. 07-08-03 05:43:35 __________________________________________________
gerry301 ::: Favorites Even with the censorship, I have found Nationalism to be the biggest distorter of the truth. Every victory is a triumph and every defeat is a victory. If you read vietnamese history now you will find the large majority of battles that the North Vietnames lost badly are recorded as victories in one way or another, leading its readers to think we got our butts kicked all the way. I'm sure its the same in China and North Korea. 07-08-02 10:42:10 __________________________________________________
gerry301 ::: Favorites I read a book you might enjoy. Its called east of Chosen. A factual documentary of what happened to the US army on the opposite side of the resevoir. A little difficult to read if you don't understand much about the military. Gives you a very good picture of what it was like. 07-08-02 10:36:18 __________________________________________________
rockavenger ::: Favorites But also forget, that while in the US we have media bias, they have complete media censorship. They are force fed government propaganda. The Chinese burnt wounded POW's alive, and let their own wounded freeze to death. Life is cheap in China, and still is. For being a communist country they only really care about profit, and don't care who they have to exploit to make money. 07-08-02 10:09:30 __________________________________________________
gerry301 ::: Favorites The video is correct. While outnumbered many times over by the chinese army, the American marines performed an orderly, fighting retreat to wonson harbor where the large majority were evacuated to south korea . They were then able to fight again. I'm sure the perspectives of what happened are different in each of our countries. 07-07-31 22:08:56 __________________________________________________
