As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
The Lame Cherry has taken it upon itself a Truth in Vietnam series of posts this past year involving the war in that communist front, and engaged in this due to the propaganda of Ken Burns faux history of World War II, which basically said white people were worthless and needed minorities to win the war.
In previews of Burns "Vietnam" it is more whining and wailing, instead of the Truth. The Truth this time comes in the not reported accounts that South Korea fought along side of Americans in Vietnam, and did so with honor, pride, bravery and enjoyment.
Yes the thing censored about Vietnam is that the majority of Soldiers there enjoyed their tours, but were shouted down by the liberals, and the nations who served in Vietnam valiantly as in South Korea and Australia have been blighted from the accounts.
ROKMC stands for Republic Of Korea Marine Corp. The Korean Marines were formed in 1949 in defense of their nation. They were a special breed of Koreans who brought Korean togetherness into the military.
It was the Blue Dragons of 2nd Brigade who first came in country. It will surprise most of you that 300,000 Korean Marines served in Vietnam. 1968 was the peak year in 50,000 ROKMC were in country.
Of the Koreans who served, 4,407 were KIA and almost 10,000 WIA's were reported. They fought hard and they fought bravely.
This is something to understand in the "soft" South Korea which faces Kim Jong Un of the North, in the South Korean Marines are a very good group of Soldiers, and in two major wars they fought beside the Americans in a most honorable way.
There greatest victory in offensive warfare in Vietnam was at Tra Binh in 1967, where they were victorious over two NVA regiments.
While the Pentagon deployed the Koreans in defensive postures, as a matter of reserving the Koreans for a war if North Korea again invaded the South, as the North captured a United States Naval vessel at this time, the Koreans enlarged their base of operations and acquitted themselves very well.
Even at the end of the war when Vietnamization was the new Pentagon policy of turning warfare over to the South Koreans, in 1970 the Korean Marines were engaged in 150 unit actions each day, and maintained throughout the war a high friendly to enemy kill ratio.
To put it bluntly, the Koreans loved fighting in Vietnam and this is not the story that Ken Burns will ever portray in another whining commentary about America as a failure standing alone.
Yes it is an amazing thing, a generation after Vietnam, how the cowardly whining liberals still want to make Vietnam a sore on America, when in reality the American Soldiers never lost an engagement, nor did the Australians or South Koreans. The military fought Vietnam properly, but only did so burdened by having both hands tied behind their backs in insane "rules of engagement".
America never lost that war in Vietnam. Vietnam was secure when America withdrew. It was democrat liberals in Congress who drove Richard Nixon from office and then when South Korea needed munitions for another North Vietnamese terror assault, the Congress refused to provide that necessary succor.
That is the reality of Vietnam which will only be told in another generation as the liberals die off and a real assessment of that glorious war is finally accounted.
The Australians kept signing up for additional tours. The Green Berets and US Marines kept signing up for additional tours and the South Koreans thrived in Vietnam warfare.
Those are the facts and a partial glorious history of the Marines of the Republic of Korea.
