don't forget that on this day back in 1950 the US Marines, a small force of 15 thousand were surrounded and cut off by 120.000 Chinese in the battle of the Chosen reservoir. 75 to 80 thousand of the red army did not make it back home. the temps at night were down to -40 neither side were prepared for this type of weather.
the Chinese would rush 1000 men to a platoon of 40. knowing that most or all would be killed before all the rounds were spent on them but that position over run. it was brutal.
36,000 US service members dead in just 3 years of fighting. about 1 million other deaths related to the war. Chinese, N. Korean, S. Korean, the civilians. just unreal that we forget.
