Thank you so much for save the south korea! We will never forget your sacrifices and courage to save Korea.I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the veterans from many countries who have helped Korea, including the United States. From south korean living in Seoul...
I wish that social media had existed prior to 2007. Two major events occurred in 2007. My father passed away and Apple released the first Smart Phone.
It would have done dad a world of good to have read your words.
Dad was a soldier when I was growing up. He killed as many Communist as possible when in Korea and Vietnam. In between, he trained others to kill Communist.
He really believed in what he did but in the end I don't believe that he had made any real difference. He didn't think anyone remembered or cared.
On his behalf, I thank you so much for sharing your thoughts.
He joined the 187th Airborne Regimental Combat Team in 1950 at 19 and served with them in Korea from 20 September 1950 until 28 May 1951 when he was severely wounded in action at Inje.
He later served 3 tours (32 months) of Vietnam.
On purpose!!
@@RobertTaylor-cj7zd American friends, ideology should not be so serious. Every country has the freedom to choose its political system, and you have no right to kill socialism.
@@不抛弃不放弃-r3o we will stand and fight against tyrants and the ungodly where ever they may be. Freedom and Faith in God is all that matters in this world. We will never bow down to slavery. We are FREE Men and Women and so shall always be.
Your welcome, I couldn't fight for a finer people.
@@leegilley221 Damn straight!
Imagine how it must have felt to survive WW2 only to fight in Korea less than 10 years later. Incredible hardness to make it through that kind of trial by fire
My father in law was in the 24th Infantry Division and was one of the first Soldiers sent into South Korea to stop the invasion from the North. He had a revolver mailed to him that he slept with in case they were over run at night. Even at 92 years old he is still bothered by the memories of that time.
he is lucky to be alive. War is cruel. War should be abandoned whenever it can be avoided.
@@不抛弃不放弃-r3o I wish that you had told Germany and Japan that war should be avoided. Think they would have listened to you? Kinda a stupid comment bubba.
A fantastic documentary with narration that not only brings the pictures to life, but somehow isn’t narration but the voice of every combat soldier to serve during those darkest days of the early war. Lest We Forget. Thumbs up 👍 and thanks for sharing.
Thnx for this my dad served in KOREAN WAR the wsr that most people dont know about he was part of the british army was srverely wounded but thnx to MASH unit was saved and came bck hme LEST WE FORGET these brave men
Such an interesting documentary with an excellent commentary. Many thanks. England, February, 2024.
My Father was in the Battle of Heart Break Ridge 1951 1st wave of the attack, wounded in action during the attack, eventually because of the wounds my father 1928-1988 PFC U.S.Army 🇺🇸 is the reason why my brother and I enlisted in the U.S.Marine Corps. We made our father proud of us.
Your father came from the far reaches of the Pacific to fight a war that brought death and suffering to the people of East Asia.
invasion ... you know that?
My father never talked about the war. Just before he died I asked what scared him the most? He said waves of chinenese coming down the mountain blowing bugles whistle screaming. He said we moved them down by the thousands. And they just sent more and more. That's when he was scared because they had no regard for life.
I'm sure he was, as u were obviously so proud of him. And rightly so. 🫡 from an old English soldier.
My father said they would shoot and shoot and shoot, and it seem like to make a difference. They just kept coming out of the hills.
I remember these programs showen at the local theater before the movies. > My uncle earned two Purple Hearts there at different times. He kept them in the attic with His other things but would never show them.
The day I was born, Nov. 1951, my dad was serving in Korea in the U.S. Army as a Brakeman for the Railroad hauling ammunition/supplies from Pusan on the southern coast (now officially Busan) to Seoul. He was standing on a flatcar when N.Korean commie zappers blew the ammunition storage facility his train was headed for. Even at a distance of approx 4 miles the concussion blew his ass right off that flatcar onto a hill over 100ft. away, and buried him under several feet of ash and debris. They didn't find him for 3 days until somebody heard him moan & when they finally dug him out, he didn't know who the fuck he was, where the fuck he was, nor how the fuck he got there. Rang his bell pretty damn good. Spent about 6 weeks in the hospital til everything came back to him, then went right back to work on the Railroad hauling ammo.
That's amazing! sounds like a tough ole nut.
Thanks for your farthers service
Thank you so much
UN and USA
There were Turkish, French, and 64,000 brits that fought in Korea, and many other countries too.
23:02 "those guys flew so low they should've had bayonets on their propellers."
😂 what a great line!
My dad served in Korea. He was rewarded a bronze star for valor. I didn't learn this until after his death. I read it on his obituary . I served with 1st infantry division in Iraq. I want to say thank to veterans past and present. Also our men and women serving today to.
For Americans, this is a war to forget, ISN't it?
Compared to today, it's remarkable how undeveloped and rural South Korea was then - particularly in comparison to the USA at the same time.
by 50 years of world power suction , you south korea try that!
War is misery, hungry, destruction and deads !!
My father...Armys 7th division 50-53
젊은. 미국인
이국땅에 순국하신 것에
대하여 너무죄송하며
감사합니다
Tragically this film shows men literally walking to their death followed by years of misery. A tragic follow on from the insane decisions made during and after WW2
If I was in a war I would be bawling my eyes out which means crying to death definitely
Australia was the first of the allies to fight the North Koreans going into action on 2 July 1950, nine days before MacArthur was appointed commander. Australia then put Britain, Canada, South Africa, New Zealand and India under its command for the rest of the war.
이 영상을 보며 목숨바쳐 이땅을 위해 싸워주신 당신들을 잊지는 않았는지..생각해보며 감사드립니다.
Sorry for saying this but i was kinda expecting fortunate son to play at the beginning
No, that’s for Viet Nam war videos.
I love South Korea!!! Great people, damn fine military. Beautiful Country, spent 2 tours there and Soldiers still say its the best kept secret in the Army. Combat there had to be a real BITCH. Extremely cold in the Winter (Think Buffalo NY in the dead of Winter).
My father was in 101 air borne 1951 korea. He never talked about it. One day when he was in is 80s I asked was he ever afraid in Korea. He said not until the Chinese came out of the mountain drumming blow horns screaming. Us stopped them by the thousands then again and again they were killed and didn't quite. That's when he got scared because they had no regard for life he said.
If you look at videos showing where the front lines were day by day you'll see that North Korea had taken almost all of modern day South Korea in the first 40 days. There must have been lots of retreating for the US and South Korea. Another crazy thing is that the US went on to capture almost all of modern day North Korea until they were pushed back again to where the DMZ is today
Being in the military now and comparing to old videos is really interesting. What’s so interesting is nothing really changed, weapons and tactics changed but the individuals themselves are the same.
Everyone smiles, everyone tells jokes, everyone endures the harsh environment. But in the end by the crucibles of combat your always be closer to those you fought with than the family you have at home.
Remember when you're going to war, smile =D.
Hell yea this is the only time it’s legal to kill someone. You also get paid doing it.
Filipinos joined too
Pilipino is bravery in battle in korea
No more Task Force Smith..
Awakening to fight the the red giant and the new cold war.
If by Red you mean Republicans, then yes. The war against conservative idiocy.
지금도 뭐 모르고 미국군이 미군정부의 2차대전 장비 소비처럼 의도적으로 했다고 합니다. 물론 그럴 수도 있지만. 사람을 다치며 하기는 정말 어려워요. 한국도 정신차리고 대응하지만. 미국도 소리 안나오게. 입단속하여야. 할것 같아요. 말로만 떠들지 못하게. 모두 노력하면. 쉬운 일이지요.
나쁜 일도 있어요. 그 때 사용한 DDT가 아직 잔류하여. 옥토가 좋지는 않아요. 그러나 그로 이 모기 자벌레는 지금도 그리 상하지는 않아요. 무조건 다 좋은 것은 아니라고 알고 있읍니다. 그래도 우리는 모두 살아야지요.
The first forty days in Korean war would have been in Mid 1950. The 1951 Big pic just makes the dates confusing.
Lt. Col Smith Task Force.
Started June 25
good
I tried to watch this guys and it was going good. However, it was ruined by adverts every 3 minutes so I called it a day. Ruined it for me I am afraid
I thought Korea started in 1950 ?
The greatest
Nice
Very interesting. Sure, there's the old dehumanization of the "Reds," the "Communist Menace," etc. But in general, this is brutally honest. Much more so than you would have seen in 1944/45. A lot had changed in 6 years. Soldiers were back from WWII with their stories, which did not sound anything like the new reals. America had lost that innocence. War was NEVER glorious. It was hard, depressing, demoralizing, disorganized. It also sounds pretty historically correct on the strategic situation. The North were experts in infiltration and encirclement. The US was holding on by the skin of their teeth, pushed back daily. The US had light M-24s; the North T-34s, and a lot of them. I'm about 15 minutes in, and no mention of the AK-47 yet. I suspect that one would still be confidential, at least until the US could get their own assault rifles, which will take several years yet.
Chinese didn’t manufacture AK till mid 50’s. AK 56 was the first widely issued assault rifle so was not a factor in Korean War. SKS wasn’t a factor either. They did use a lot of Soviet sub machine guns that were effective at close range against US M1’s and the commonwealth troops with obsolete bolt action Lee Enfields.
@@Chiller01 You are talking about the new weapons of China's Soviet Union in the late Korean War, and the Chinese soldiers used in the early stage of the North Korean War (Japan's three-eighth rifles and American national army used in the Chinese Military）
My Hero & Great Uncle Army
SGT Edgar Ernest Davis Jr
Bronze Star ⭐️
Purple Heart 💜
2 Infantry Division
38th Infantry Regiment
G CO 2 BN
Army
Hostile, Died While Missing (MIA)
Remains Not Recovered
Date Of Loss: November 28, 1950
Service Number: RA14316699
Born: April 15, 1929
Home Or Place Of Enlistment
Gurley, Alabama
Location Or Battle Zone: Chongchon River
Town Or Area: Kujang Area East
Comments: Sergeant Davis was a member of Company G, 2nd Battalion, 38th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division. He was listed as Missing in Action while fighting the enemy in North Korea on November 28, 1950. He was presumed dead on December 31, 1953. Last known home of record Gurley, Alabama.
By mid-November 1950, U.S. and Allied forces had advanced to within approximately sixty miles of the Yalu River, the border between North Korea and China. On November 25, roughly 300,000 Chinese Communist Forces (CCF) "volunteers" launched a sudden and fierce counteroffensive after crossing the Yalu. The U.S. Army 2nd Infantry Division, positioned near the Chongchon river, soon came under intense CCF attack. Unable to halt the CCF advance and in danger of being surrounded, the 2nd Infantry Division was ordered to withdraw from Kunu-ri and move to defensive positions at Sunchon, North Korea. As the division pulled back from Kunu-ri, it was forced to fight rearguard actions against enemy pursuit while also attempting to break through well-defended CCF roadblocks. The withdrawal was not complete until early December and inflicted extremely heavy casualties on the 2nd Infantry Division.
Sergeant Edgar Ernest Davis, who joined the U.S. Army from Alabama, was a member of Company G of the 2nd Battalion, 38th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division. He went missing at some point during the fighting withdrawal towards Kujang. Sergeant Davis was never reported as a confirmed prisoner of war, and his remains have not been recovered or identified among those returned to U.S. custody after the war. Today, Sergeant Davis is memorialized on the Courts of the Missing at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
Also my other Great Uncle for in the Korean War Conflict as well Retired U.S.Airmen First Class Noel W. Johnson whom passed away in 1999
🇺🇸 🇰🇷I salute and pray Jesus Christ will Bless you all. ( Titus 2:7-8 & 11-14 )Ephesians 2:8 Thank You all for your sacrifice & Service
Nice US Propaganda video about starting of Korean war( Red aggression ) views were from behind Gapes showing . not from front lines ....simple real question whey General Mack Urthor Ignored suitable preparation of defense lines & supporting south Korean Army with Tanks & armored Vehicles ? before North Korean Invading started ?
Instead of editing my comment I would address this one to the individual who disliked this documentary, and ask them WHY?, would it be to much to ask, to much effort, or are they just a Habitual disliker, whatever their reason they should at least have the decency to say why they disliked it, even if they are anti war, anti American/British/Canadian/Australian/New Zealand/African nations/ and any other nation that fought(in this case truly) to prevent communism in Korea from spreading, at least have the courage, as these men did, of their convictions and not behave in a less than Honourable way, I won’t say cowardly as that implies that there is something to be scared of, words can’t hurt people, they can anger, sadden, lift the spirits, but not physically hurt. So don’t be shy, say why, maybe we could learn something, maybe they could, but we can never know unless they write it down.
My apologies for the rant, but those who dislike this kind of documentary without the whit to say why makes my blood boil, if they don’t like the way it’s made then why not say so, even disliking the subject matter is fine as long as it’s not just a tirade against the brave men and women who fought and died during war, that is unacceptable, but they should at least still have the bollocks to say. Again my apologies.
Haochen Zi , exactly my point, it is History, so it is what it is. But to dislike a documentary without explaining why is unfair, especially when it is about such an emotive and emotion stirring subject, it leaves people, like me , imagining that their dislike is against those, who had no choice in the matter, that were sent to fight a war that was not of their choosing or even knowing where or why they were fighting, and so a dislike without explanation is infuriating. But thanks for your reply, it is very interesting and informative. 👍
It wasnt about fight ing against communism......nor about freedom - for both sides it was about political necessity to show the other they were willing but mainly it was about geo political strategic posturing and for these various US docs to make out they were under strength without the equipment and underdogs is hogwash - the USA at this point in time was the most powerful nation on earth - why dont you have a peek at how many tanks, artillery pieces , ships and planes the USA had versus every body else ? They were spending as much on military as t he rest of the world combined - go CHECK and then make a comment !......
@@Sq12Sq22u22 I don’t need too go and check, your right the USA was the most powerful nation on earth at the time, but, the number of personnel and equipment available in the first few weeks WAS limited and took time to get to Pusan and other points of disembarkment, and off course it was about the geopolitical situation and it was about the people, it was about so many different political, religious, ideological and fundamental issues, however, that wasn’t my point, and either you didn’t understand that or didn’t want to, the point IS if you dislike a video have the bollocks to say WHY.
P.S Just a small but very important point, if the United Nations (led by the USA) hadn’t fought this war then Korea would be totally ruined and run by the Kim clan, and look how that has worked out for the North Korean people, famine, repression, living in the dark ages whilst the elite sit idly by gorging themselves on all the western products they can get into the country by illicit means, no Covid19 vaccine, but worse, no food imports from China or anywhere, and still little fat Kim gets fatter, and that’s why the Korean War was fought, the United Nations should have let McArthur hold the line at the Yalu river, then there wouldn’t be a divided Korea.
워커 장군님도 잘 모르지만 여기 전쟁터에서 돌아가시고 후리덤을 위하여 순국하신 것으로 알아요. 현재는 거의 기리기도 행사도 없고 기억도 못하게 지우고 있는 현 상황. 제 눈에서 보면 아이고 밖에 안나와요. 왜 구해줘고 후리덤을 가르쳐준 이들은 무었을 위하여 사는지 모를 지경. 이 또한 참담합니다. 맥아더 워커장군 여타 참전한 군인 미국 시민에게 감사도 못하게 하는 꼴이니. 솔직히 미치겠어요. 그러면 자신의 선조를 잘 대응하느냐. 노인 자살률이 1위인데. 아직도 정권찬탈만 하려고 궁리나 핑계만. 이러니 후손이 다스려지냐. 아니에요. 실상은 엉망진창. 그저 뙈놈이나 데려다 돈주고 연명중빕니다. 연예인 그저 얼굴 팔이. 처녀도 자신 얼굴 뜯어고치느라고 성형외과가 성업. 이게 세계 최고에요. 그걸로 다 먹고 살려나봐요. 지금 당장도 제가 여러나라에서 도와주어 극복하고 있는 것은 가리고 대장이 자기 치적으로 이용하려다 그만해서 멈춘 상태. 이게 실 우리 실정입니다. 이러나 저러나. 감사합니다. 하하.

Told you not to push the front line to the boarder of China. Your fault to ignored it.
