Korea was no joke. My grandfather fought in Korea in the Marine Corps as a grunt. I always had the utmost admiration and respect for him and what he and his fellow Korean War vets went through. I was an Airborne Infantryman in the Army and feel like my time in Iraq pales in comparison to what those men faced. It's a true shame the Korean War doesn't get the recognition it deserves.
What do u think - or u dont think - when u invade another countries? Dont u ask yourself, what right do i have to do that? U speaks about the glory od ur grandfather. What glory? U are so manipulated u believe u have the right to do so. I hope i live to see u one day undestand such things.
I've read the 2iD. 23rd Infantryv Reg muster rolls to see where my father was fighting (he didn't talk much, only mentioning landing n June 1950 and Chipyong-Ni as that's where he was gravely injured). This was so well done. Thank you.
@@genghis_connie Your father is a hero who protected the Republic of Korea ^^ Thanks to your father, the Republic of Korea has become one of the top 10 economies and can enjoy freedom.
ua-cam.com/video/Tg11PgBf4FU/v-deo.htmlsi=_I_WHJ5euzDEnLwH The video clip shows a young Korean man visiting and taking photos of the Korean War veterans. In the video, the veterans asked, "How much is the photo?" But the young man who took the photo said, "I paid for your photo 69 years ago." That video clip was a few years ago, but the Korean people owe it to many veterans. Make sure to watch it when you have time!
Watch the movie Inchon if you can find it funded by the Reverend Sun Myung Moon. It is possibly the worse war movie ever made and has Laurence Olivier making a fool of himself as Douglas Macarthur.
@@rushbeat14 If you are talking 'bout the 1982 movie, with also Toshiro Mifune, then you are absolutely correct. & now I know why if it's funded by the hy$terically worshiped Moon cult.
Thanks for showing action of the French Battalion. In French historiography, it is completely overshadowed by the concomitant Indochina war, which is understandable.
As a Korean citizen, I appreciate his participation in the Korean war and have true respect for him. He deserves to live with a lot of recognition and glory. I, as a Korean, will remember his help Korean people in need. Many thanks to him.
These videos are all done so well with such a high production value. It ties in perfectly with all the ADPs and ATPs..really ties it in with real combat arms command doctrine and the graphics are GREAT
Very Good! my dad was there. Late Cpl.Marco Yazzie Begay C company 23rd,inf,regt. Aug.1950 to Nov.1951 fought in 12 major Battles. Pusan to Heartbreak ridge.
Thank you for uploading this valuable video. Thank you all who came to Korea and fought against the Chinese Communists Forces, to help Korea out of war crisis. Your sacrifice and participation made it possible to win the battle because excellent combined tactical attack succeeded in defending and counter attacking against the enemies, with can-do spirit. Your gallant victory will be remembered in the long history of Korea and in the heart of Korean people. Thanks a million once again. How proud veterans alive are! RIP.
@@Mr-wt8tq North Korea could not exist without China...just as East Germany could not have existed without the Soviet Union. Just another example of a large, powerful country oppressing a smaller, weaker one. And BTW I've been to the DMZ. Absolutely disgusting!
This is the perfect setting for a Rising Storm video game. Men like Lee need to be remembered for their outstanding bravery. I’m gonna try and get some anti matter or activision folk to start story boarding something. Awesome video. I remember reading the book, The Longest Winter” when I was in Afghanistan
My father served during the Korean war, this sounds so familiar, he told me about how the French made some bayonet charges not too far from the unit he was in.
That French unit subsequently left Korea and went over to Vietnam. The " Bataillon de Corée" was decimated by the Việt Minh at the Battle of Mang Yang Pass (aka Battle of An Khe) in June 1954.
The painting depicting the bayonet charge was actually a painting of the bayonet charge made by the 65th infantry regiment from Puerto Rico. It was the last battalion size bayonet charge made by any army unit in the war.
What an invaluable documentary it is! This helps me to understand why and how the Korean war broke out in 1950. First, South Korea was getting out of control by the sudden attack of North Korean soldiers at dawn of June 25, 1950. Second, United Nations Forces participated in the war to keep peace and freedom in Korea. Third, US army and French battalion successfully defended Chinese attack, gaining momentum to counter- attack against Chinese forces with confidence. So, the victory of Jipyong-ni became a turning point of attacking the enemy in the mid-field battle of the Korean peninsula. God bless all vets alive and KIAs. As a Korean, we will remember your help and service here in Korea. Thank you for your sacrifice and devotion in Korea once again.
Nick Logan I agree but it should never had been chopped up in the first place Korea was just Korea before the war ww2 Russia should have been invaded following Germany it was the only real chance to invade it Now look at China China needs to be put down because they chomping at the bit for revenge for the last 100 years and they will pursue it That why japan changed from allies to axis from ww1 to ww2 they were sick of being treated lesser people They knew they would lose to the US but they will and did take millions of lives with them of course they are fine now but it’s history all over again
Nick Logan South Korea is a Power house North Korea a growing threat North Korea needs to be dealt with before they grow to strong with China and Russia Stamp out North Korea now their people will be grateful

(So far) TIK does extremely detailed battles as well and he'll be covering Stalingrad once he finishes his current Courland Pocket videos.
Interesting at how U.S. doctrine has changed over the decades. Basically, it began evolving into its present form during WWII, and continues to retain what it learned from the Germany Army about both offense and defense. Throw in a healthy dose of Thomas J. Jackson and Nathan B. Forrest and there it is. None of it seems terribly new to me, but old school is often the best school.
I'd like to thank all the troops that fought in this shit hole. My dad (Curtis Ray Fisher) was there. He made it home only to be murdered buy my mom &"stepdad" I never got the chance to know him. God bless you all thank you for you're service. You guys will never be forgotten!!!!!!!!!!!! ( mom &Jim got away with it ) I was 3 now I'm 55
My Grandpa was a Sgt in the British Army that fought in Korea he always called in the forgotten war. He was part of the (British) Royal Artillery and he also shot dpwn enemy aircraft using Ack Ack guns. He also told me stories about how he went down mineshafts and tunnels hunting down the enemy, he also said he was in a firefight, an enemy throw a grenade at him, the grenade landed by his feet, he looked down and the pin was still in the grenade, he wouldn't tell me what happened after; I suspect he pulled the pin out and returned it to it's owner. He passed away in 2019, he always had the utmost determination to carry on.
Everyone calls it the "forgotten war" not sure why. Lots of media covered this war. I think it is mostly because they didn't get the adulation that WWII veterans got.
My grandfather still living, tells me plenty of stories like Guarding Rudolf Hess in Germany etc.. but never tells me stories of Korea, only that mass waves of enemies, running at your trenches in the night leading to Hand to hand combat. A bridge will have piles of bodies they kept coming climbing over the dying and dead.. won’t say anything else, truly is a forgotten war, wish there was more documentaries and interviews. Before they are all gone.
You deserve to be proud of your grandfather who fought against the North Korean communists sponsored by the CCF to keep peace and freedom in Korea. Thanks to him as well as many veterans alive and many KIAs, we Koreans enjoy freedom and have developed the nation by leaps and bounds. Maybe your grandfather participated in the battle of Imjin or Seolma-ri, defending and deterring the CCF's attack, judging from almost all accounts related to the war. Never will I forget their sacrifice they made in Seolma-ri, Korea, to help us out of the very critical time. Your grandpa must be the life savior of the Koreans. God bless him!
You must be proud of your dad. He can be considered to be the incarnation of liberty and peace in Korea. Thank you and your father for helping Koreans out of crisis at that time.
After the end of this series of battle of which Twin Tunnels was a part, and which involved even more artillery fire, the french general Montclar, who had participated in the first world war 35 years prior, told his men: _"Vous pourrez dire à vos anciens que vous avez vécu quelque chose qui ressemble à Verdun"._ "You will be able to tell your elders that you lived through something that looked like Verdun".
The first units thrown into Korea from Japan were entirely unprepared for combat. Garrison duty in Japan left their training & equipment substandard. Conditions in Korea were similar at the end of the Vietnam War, which had drawn off lots of men & equipment.

Nice video in clear explaining of mobilize of two sides of armies and importance of Amphibians units with strategic Naval mobilizes had great Loud in this struggle between Communism block & Capitalism Block on Korean Peninsula
Then the poor fellas who fought in the jungles of Southeast Asia got totally screwed with replacing 7.62 M14 with the 5.56 M16. Who the *uck designs a carry handle on a light, underpowered, so called "assault rifle" ? Ralph Lauren or Gucci.
My Dad fought in Korea, and swore by the M-1 Rifle. It was chambered in 30.06 and had tremendous range/penetration. Their rifles were not as outdated as they were worn out---left overs from WWII. Dad reported the M-1 carbine was junk---failed to penetrate enemy winter clothing. His fallback was the M-1911 .45 pistol---everybody else had one too.
What needs explaining is how the UN iself caused Korea to fail. How can UN forces win when the Security Council meets and discusses the next plans, Russia sits there, and passes that intel to the Chinese
FDR created this Anti capitalist gov. gawd awful UN. The pro Red rules were baked in by the commies with FDR's blessing. How Truman thought he could fight a war knowing UN was more enemy than ally tells me that Truman never had any intention of winning the Korean War debacle. It is the sacrifice of young American soldiers through the duplicity of our own government that is stunning.
My father died in Korea. He was fighting for a cause. Fighting to stop communist aggression wherever it may strike too. Too bad we have lost that noble cause. 2021 has people in congress that are no better than the very thing that so many have died for. Are their deaths in vain?
If Truman hadn't dropped the ATOMIC BOMB, The Soviets Would have not only taken ALL of Korea,. But most likely would have partitioned North/South Japan as well in the event of an American Invasion rather than ATOMIC Bombings,.
UNdERGROUNd NATiONs What the shit are you taking about?You’re moron learn your history and historical facts.Before you post something like that.Atomic bomb was never use in the Korea War.Or WW3 would of have stated right there.
Inchon may be MacArthur's finest hour but this was barely redeeming for the Battle of Peleliu which almost brought annihilation to the USMC 1st Marine for an objective that could be bypassed. I am more in awe of how O.P. Smith managed the the 1st Marine at Chosin . ua-cam.com/video/3rf-KpVgus8/v-deo.html
MacArthur had perids of brilliance and unforgivable lapses. In Korea his three most salient failures were 1. Intel. He allowed a staff of yes men who themselves were usolated from Korea to filter intel coming to him. This redulted in two ugly surprises. The initial invasion by North Korea and the entry of the Chinese into the war. Inchon was brilliant but the 8thvArmy breakout and followup was sluggishvand flawed.2 MacArthur used split command with Walker and Almond and Almond was unquslified to command a division let alone an army.😢

This was fatal to MacArthurs career. You are correct about O P Smiths handling of the 1st MarDiv at Chosin. Along with Ridgeway OP Smith was probably one of the two best commanders in Korea. Unfortunately the actions he took to save his division caused such friction with Almond that it probably cost him the position of Commandant of the Marine CorpNevertheless his handling and preservation of 1st MarDiv saved the division and remains probably the best example of how to execute a fighting withdrawal when confronted with and surrounded by a far superior force. It was a tour de force performance that is largely overlooked. The Chinese had prioritized destruction of the 1st MarDiv and assigned 5 divisions to ac c omplish the task. During the withdrawal 3 of thecChinese divions were so badly mauled that they became combat ineffective for about a year. And 1st MarDiv marched out in good order bringing its equipment dead and wounded and boarded transports that sailed south. It is worth noting that there were positive indicators of the Chinese entry Smiths G2 detected and heeded them and reported them to Almond who ridiculed the intel and ordered 1st MarDic to charge pell mell to the Yalu. Smith had no choice but to obey but made arrangements to keep a corrider and airfield open to his rear for resupply evac of wounded and withdrawal. Army units slso ordered to charge to the Yalu were not so well led andcwere additionally more hampered by Slmonds orders. They obeyed and were cut to pieces.
You missed major history, two occupying division entirely incomplete many back to the states total organized around 466 even lesser than two company sending to SK , this initiating first defence
Who was luring who? Impressive camouflage deception for ambush by Chinese on hill 453. Unimaginable that a patrol of that size in hostile territory only had one radio!
Radios back then took entire jeeps to carry them. It is unimaginable by todays standards, but back then radio jeeps were the only way to get communications out, whoever let them take the only one should have been sentenced to life in front of a firing squad. It was a stupid decision and the rest of the patrol paid for it dearly.

Then again my time in the enlisted roll showed me I made the better choice as I was a much productive 'shop monkey' than I would have been in the mgmt portion of being a junior officer.
13:00 "sheer numerical" you wish! would have been in UN firepower favor if it was just "sheer numerical". WWI and WWII have already proven numerical advantage doesn't mean anything in front of firepower. Rather easy to skip UN commanding and strategic failure innit?

Chipon li last at least 5000, then withdrew, remained on the ground next dat covered with snow except a few crows outskirts of Chipon Li remained a vast area of chilling peace
Sur ce film, on voit, à certains moments, des soldats du Bataillon Français dont mon père faisait partit, on les reconnait aux baïonnettes, au bout des Fusils, ils ont largement prouvé lors de ce combat, leurs utilité au combat et le Bataillon Français de mon papa, en été récompensé de plusieurs citations.
On this film, we can see, sometimes, soldiers of the French Battalion ONU, where my father was , we recognize them at the bayonets, at the end of the Fusils, they have largely proved during this fight, their usefulness in combat and the French Battalion of my dad, He received several citations. Sorry for my bad english.
As was my father 50th aaa A company operated the Full track Twin 40 and he 91 years old today

Nice video in clear explaining of mobilize of two sides of armies and importance of Amphibians units with strategic Naval mobilizes had great Loud in this struggle between Communism block & Capitalism Block on Korean Peninsula
Just which WW2 GI firearm was outdated. M1 Garand or BAR ??? Not a fact.
Michael Cote. If you suggest the M14 for the M1, agreed. The 30 cal carbine, I cannot agree.
Then the poor fellas who fought in the jungles of Southeast Asia got totally screwed with replacing 7.62 M14 with the 5.56 M16. Who the *uck designs a carry handle on a light, underpowered, so called "assault rifle" ? Ralph Lauren or Gucci.
@@jeffreymcdonald8267 But the redundant handle is a super great gun site too, duuhhh. 🇺🇸
My Dad fought in Korea, and swore by the M-1 Rifle. It was chambered in 30.06 and had tremendous range/penetration. Their rifles were not as outdated as they were worn out---left overs from WWII. Dad reported the M-1 carbine was junk---failed to penetrate enemy winter clothing. His fallback was the M-1911 .45 pistol---everybody else had one too.
@@jeffreymcdonald8267 you weren’t there so your opinion is useless.
I love the term retrograde movement.. i guess that sounds nicer then retreating lol
What needs explaining is how the UN iself caused Korea to fail. How can UN forces win when the Security Council meets and discusses the next plans, Russia sits there, and passes that intel to the Chinese
FDR created this Anti capitalist gov. gawd awful UN. The pro Red rules were baked in by the commies with FDR's blessing. How Truman thought he could fight a war knowing UN was more enemy than ally tells me that Truman never had any intention of winning the Korean War debacle. It is the sacrifice of young American soldiers through the duplicity of our own government that is stunning.
No question about it. General Westmoreland and a few others should have studied a bit more. But yeah, it gets no coverage
AMERICA SOLDIER
THANK'S!!!
고맙습니다!!!
Thank you for your kind words . My father was over there he is still alive today, 91 years old again, thank you
My father died in Korea. He was fighting for a cause. Fighting to stop communist aggression wherever it may strike too. Too bad we have lost that noble cause. 2021 has people in congress that are no better than the very thing that so many have died for. Are their deaths in vain?
WE SERVE
so Korea was divided for the same reason as Germany
If Truman hadn't dropped the ATOMIC BOMB, The Soviets Would have not only taken ALL of Korea,. But most likely would have partitioned North/South Japan as well in the event of an American Invasion rather than ATOMIC Bombings,.
Lies underground. That's a strawman argument. If we dont go to it someone else will. You probably fell for the wmd in Iraq? That Iran somehow did 911?
@@deelanders6132 that's not what a "strawman argument" means.
UNdERGROUNd NATiONs What the shit are you taking about?You’re moron learn your history and historical facts.Before you post something like that.Atomic bomb was never use in the Korea War.Or WW3 would of have stated right there.
The static sound effects are offensive to my ears
Ignore the negative haters in this important presentation, please.
Inchon may be MacArthur's finest hour but this was barely redeeming for the Battle of Peleliu which almost brought annihilation to the USMC 1st Marine for an objective that could be bypassed. I am more in awe of how O.P. Smith managed the the 1st Marine at Chosin .

MacArthur had perids of brilliance and unforgivable lapses. In Korea his three most salient failures were 1. Intel. He allowed a staff of yes men who themselves were usolated from Korea to filter intel coming to him. This redulted in two ugly surprises. The initial invasion by North Korea and the entry of the Chinese into the war. Inchon was brilliant but the 8thvArmy breakout and followup was sluggishvand flawed.2 MacArthur used split command with Walker and Almond and Almond was unquslified to command a division let alone an army.😢

MacArthur and his ego got involved in a conflict of personalities and goals with Trumanvwho was a vindictive man and who due to his experiences ezrlier in the Army Reserve hated the aristocracy of the military .
This was fatal to MacArthurs career.
You are correct about O P Smiths handling of the 1st MarDiv at Chosin.
Along with Ridgeway OP Smith was probably one of the two best commanders in Korea.
Unfortunately the actions he took to save his division caused such friction with Almond that it probably cost him the position of Commandant of the Marine CorpNevertheless his handling and preservation of 1st MarDiv saved the division and remains probably the best example of how to execute a fighting withdrawal when confronted with and surrounded by a far superior force. It was a tour de force performance that is largely overlooked. The Chinese had prioritized destruction of the 1st MarDiv and assigned 5 divisions to ac c omplish the task.
During the withdrawal 3 of thecChinese divions were so badly mauled that they became combat ineffective for about a year.
And 1st MarDiv marched out in good order bringing its equipment dead and wounded and boarded transports that sailed south.
It is worth noting that there were positive indicators of the Chinese entry Smiths G2 detected and heeded them and reported them to Almond who ridiculed the intel and ordered 1st MarDic to charge pell mell to the Yalu.
Smith had no choice but to obey but made arrangements to keep a corrider and airfield open to his rear for resupply evac of wounded and withdrawal.
Army units slso ordered to charge to the Yalu were not so well led andcwere additionally more hampered by Slmonds orders. They obeyed and were cut to pieces.
Always Rusia, Second World War was finish, one Evil was gone, and another was born
Where was the 24th Infantry Div., 21st Reg., 3rd Bn., when this battle was fought?
The cold would have sucked. Not sure how that guy lived riding on the back of that tank.
My uncle served in the army back when.
Is that Larry Elder narrating?
You missed major history, two occupying division entirely incomplete many back to the states total organized around 466 even lesser than two company sending to SK , this initiating first defence
Thanks to South Korea for seeing it through.
Hill 453 is taken then lost and then retaken again . Don’t know why they just didn’t hold it
Shell's sponge. That's why.
The sound level on this is too low
What will aliens from outer space think about the earth?One type pf human is killing another type of human?
MY DAD WAS THERE IN 1950 AND 1951
Who was luring who? Impressive camouflage deception for ambush by Chinese on hill 453. Unimaginable that a patrol of that size in hostile territory only had one radio!
Radios back then took entire jeeps to carry them. It is unimaginable by todays standards, but back then radio jeeps were the only way to get communications out, whoever let them take the only one should have been sentenced to life in front of a firing squad.
It was a stupid decision and the rest of the patrol paid for it dearly.

Hmm had I not gone from rotc cadet supposed to commission in 1978 to an enlisted 27e in 1977 I might have taken this class. Then again my time in the enlisted roll showed me I made the better choice as I was a much productive 'shop monkey' than I would have been in the mgmt portion of being a junior officer.
13:00 "sheer numerical" you wish! would have been in UN firepower favor if it was just "sheer numerical". WWI and WWII have already proven numerical advantage doesn't mean anything in front of firepower. Rather easy to skip UN commanding and strategic failure innit?

So heavy war....than Vietnam
So this was a totally US war then ? you would think so listening to this narrative. My uncle died at the Imjin river alongside his colleagues in the British Gloucester regiment alongside some Turkish UN soldiers.
u right, there were other countries too, its was china vs 18 countries at that time.
The twin towers combat AND the current world situation makes a case for making mini-guns a part of every US combat arms company.
why dont you go and read another book and make up another story
When “army” have a totally different meaning when you get into kpop
