I can not believe for the life of me that this article was so time sensitive that it had to be posted on Memorial Day of all days. Furthermore, the article makes some major leaps to use scattered statements and vague letters to draw the conclusion that it was U.S. policy to shoot Korean refugees as stated in the very title of the article.U.S. policy was to shoot Korean refugees
The letter — dated the day of the Army's mass killing of South Korean refugees at No Gun Ri in 1950 — is the strongest indication yet that such a policy existed for all U.S. forces in Korea, and the first evidence that that policy was known to upper ranks of the U.S. government.
Anyways, sorry I have to put this up here in the first place, but I felt I had to vent to some folks who know how a guy like me could get very upset about this type of thing.
Safe Shooting and Enjoy Your Day Off.
