To set the record straight, the US couldn't have had knowledge of this incident taking place since it was an uprising. Sure, maybe they sat and watched it like all armies will do if it's not a threatening reproach to their own kind.
If you know anything about history, communist regimes wanted to attack all flanks starting from the southern areas of any terrain, which is why nowadays they have commandos in North Korea expecting to do just that: Attack via Jeju.
No, don't blame this on the US. This incident was far too early in the war. Without a positon of authority how could the US be responsible and then considered-like nowadays by most Koreans-to be the instigator of the war? In other words, was it planned without the US's presence or before? Then, and if so, you have credible truth. War is war, there are factors none plans. To put a finger on the US would be like saying you have no right to live in the ocuntry you're living in due to the fact you've taken the native's land.
Is it a cover-up or perhaps just random violence like I'd read about where communism used innocent victims to further its cause much like terrorism?
The cold war had begun and Stalin had been known to need ports along the sea in order to have naval power. Files confirm this, and the fact he'd instigated the Korean War. This is a fact.
Jeju? It was not even considered a factor during the war as threatening the capital, considering it's an island, but was a location other than strategic advantage much like Okinaway and thereby a brainfart by Stalin to further a communist cause. In my opinion, it was something which the States knew could be contained by the will of loyal citizens, much like today and Bush's remonstrations of democracy, thereby making the locals blow the brains out of those who would not take their side? So the States, they took this into consideration, McArthur and all, figuring the fight was to divide the army and not be cut off in some remote locale, knowing how apt the Korean mindset is, to be loyal to a point of blind belief.
Sure, they knew communism was rampant there, didn't get involved. Perhaps they'd even induced it by their enemies via subterfuge. When your enemies are too hidden, you can't help but exposing them by using local intervention, or their own loyalty to make sure they are loyal themselves.
I am a reformer and know much about subterfuge, albeit am apolitical. But I'd knowledge of the present war, and fear, more is to come. Randy Chianalt knows me, as does his wife, both Army aware. Take the time to talk to them. You won't believe the disinformation you're apt to read. |
