if anyone is interested in the fun and games that went on 50 years back..this makes interesting reading.

"June 27 1950- A general panic hits the Seoul citizens and tens of thousands of refugees clog all roads leading south.
June 29- Noth koreans take seoul.
"At last the sad truth emerges. A column of S. Korean POW's passes through our town. Some are wounded and being carried by fellow POWs. The column is lead by a S Korean army officer still proud with his head held high. But the rest seem to be dejected and scared. Two women from the crowd throw rocks at the column.
I am bewildered by the easy victory over the S Korean Army. Newspapers are full of combat stories: S Koreans trying to stop tanks with hand grenades; S Koreans surrendering at the sight of a tank; S Korean soldiers turning against their own officers and so on." |

I had a look. It seems reasonably balanced to me. Presenting the other side as well as the American one is hardly propoganda.
If anything this account goes to reveal the sheer inadequacy, ineptitude and disorganisation of the South Koreans in the face of invasion.You have generals crying andgetting all emotional. You have the govt and several military commanders deserting and fleeing before letting the populace know whats happening.
It begs the question-is the modern SK military really capable enough to take the reins from the USFK in 2009?? |

The link didn't work for me. Anyway, in general Kimsoft's site is anything but balanced. |
