Korea Military

Snipers in the guard towers would fire at them. North Korean patrols would shoot at them from across the MDL. The North Koreans would even cross the MDL to assault a patrol. They then hightailed it back across to avoid return fire. The rules of engagement allowed Dennis to return fire inside the DMZ. He had to cease fire once they crossed back over the MDL. There were provisions that did allow engaging combatants across the border. All that was needed was permission from higher up. By the time it took to get permission, it was too late. The North Koreans knew the firing rules that patrols had to follow. They would use them against our forces every opportunity they could.

When Communist North Korea launches a surprise invasion of the South, Jonas finds himself leading his platoon against a well-trained, battle-hardened army.

Jonas and his men begin their retreat down the Peninsula, fighting a rear-guard action.

Richard Edward Carey came from a broken home. Enlisting in the Corps in 1946 he later earned a commission, fighting at Inchon and Chosin in Korea before becoming a pilot. During his thirty-eight-year military career he witnessed and participated in major historical events, though a high school wrestling injury would eliminate him from the Mercury-7 space program. As a second lieutenant, he tackled General Douglas MacArthur on the way to Seoul in 1950. Carey would provide critical intelligence decisions enabling the successful defense of the Chinese attack on Hagaru-ri at the Chosin Reservoir.

The focus of the United States during the Cold War was to prevent the spread of communism. The soldiers who served then were the wall that protected the world from that threat. None were in harm's way more than those who patrolled inside the DMZ in Korea. This book covers the history for the years following the "Second Korean War". No longer an official combat zone, it was still one of the most dangerous places in the world. This book documents the history of the DMZ from the perspective of the soldiers who were actually there, facing that threat each day.

The Korean War is often labeled “the forgotten war”, and though it has received renewed attention in recent years, it still pales compared to others in recent history like the Vietnam War or even the more recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. What’s mostly overlooked is that the Korean War was one of the most intense conflicts the United States fought, and the soldiers who served in it were arguably in greater peril than in any other war over the last 75 years.

An American soldier's life spirals out of control after he makes a fateful discovery on the Korean DMZ and then falls in love with a beautiful brothel courtesan whose tragic past becomes entwined in a volatile confrontation with Communist North Korea. It's the 1960s, the Vietnam conflict is raging, and a delicate Korean armistice threatens to fall apart at the world's most dangerous border, pushing the US toward the brink of another war in Asia. With his life in danger, GI Eddie Profar must decide if he should reveal his startling secret, which has already caused the deaths of two people.

October 6, 1951. Richard Bassett remembers the day vividly. That was the day his platoon ran into an ambush near Kumwha. During the firefight, many were wounded, four were killed, and Bassett, along with three others, was captured. During a month-long march to the POW camp, the Americans frequently came under friendly fire. Surviving the march paled in comparison to what the captured soldiers had to endure at Camp 5 Pyokdong.

La narrativa de la Guerra de Corea en Occidente, y particularmente en los Estados Unidos, cuenta la historia de un conflicto entre dos superpotencias mundiales e ideologías contrapuestas en un rincón lejano del mundo. La realidad es que las ruedas de movimiento que llevaron al país a la guerra en 1950 comenzaron a girar mucho antes de que las botas estadounidenses pisaran el suelo coreano. El corazón del conflicto fue una guerra civil entre una población dividida arbitrariamente por la colonización y la geopolítica global al final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

As a United States general, he had an unparalleled genius for military strategy, and it was under his leadership that Japan was rebuilt into a democratic ally after World War II. But MacArthur carried out his zero-sum philosophy both on and off the battlefield. During the Korean War, in defiance of President Harry S. Truman and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, he pushed for an aggressive confrontation with Communist China - a position intended to provoke a wider war, regardless of the cost or consequences.

After Casey Marie McCleary, Specialist 4th class finally heard the rumble of the bus coming down the road towards her. She stood and put the strap of her handbag on her shoulder, then squatted and in a very lady like manner easily lifted the 60-pound duffel and slung it over her shoulder by one strap. She was headed for Korea.Casey’s life had changed dramatically several years earlier when her mother had died, then again when her oldest sister Ryan had gotten pregnant and moved to Zapata TX. But the change when she’d landed in Newark had been more abrupt. It had been her first time on a...

해양과 대륙의 충돌로 해석하는 임진왜란은 한반도에 어떤 의미를 던지는가? 이후 동아시아는 어떻게 흘러가는가? 이 책은 동아시아를 보는 일반적인 통념과 전혀 다른 결론을 보여준다. 동서양을 막론하고 해양과 대륙이라는 양대 세력이 다투면서 문명과 역사가 바뀌었다는 주장은 많았다. 다만 그 배경이 한반도를 포함한 동아시아이고, 임진왜란부터 태평양전쟁까지 일본이라는 해양 세력이 주축이 되어 전개되는 것을 보면 생소함을 넘어 거부감이 들지도 모른다. 그러나 이어령 전 문화부 장관도 말했듯이, 한국은 해양과 대륙 사이에 있는 반도 국가로서 그 역할이 점차 커지고 있다. 21세기 한국에 걸맞은 역할이 필요하다. 대륙 일변의 역사에서 벗어나 해양을 중심으로 동아시아를 본다면, 당신은 오늘날까지 연속하는 해양과 대륙의 패권 대결을 현명하게 바라볼 수 있을 것이다.
