We had some bad losses on the ground in the korean war

Ww2 vets getting overrun by chinks and abandoned

^ was shocked how unprepared the us army was

at the start of the korean war

really wasnt something i expected

the draw down from ww2 must have been a wholescale culling

We lost 54000 men

People were fucking sick of war after ww2 and everything got gutted

By July 1, American combat boots were on the ground, in the form of Task Force Smith—a scratch force commanded Lt. Col. Charles Smith that was centered around two understrength rifle companies from the Twenty-First Infantry Regiment of the Twenty-Fourth Infantry Division. The scratch force had just over four hundred officers and men, plus a few 105-millimeter howitzers from attached artillery battalion. It had no tanks, no close air support and poor communications. Instead of the latest antitank rocket launchers, most of its tank-killing firepower consisted of 2.36-inch bazookas that hadn’t even been able to destroy German tanks five years before.

bloody hell

the korean war was all kinds of fucked

the terrain was hellish

MASH made it seem comfy

We had Nukes so the bugmen in charge decided it was time to gut everything else.

Hell, even right now our tactics are tech only

and they nuked beijing

We dont really have tactics

Assumed infantry would just mop up after strategic bombing.

Strategic nuclear bombing that is
