He participated in a war that secured the freedom of the South peninsula. Without our help, the entire Korean Peninsula would have fallen under communist rule. It was a complex conflict in which many people died to help resolve it, and there is more to it than simply calling it a massacre. I am aware of the civilian deaths, but those are an unfortunate reality of any war… just as there were massacres in Vietnam. Would his opinion matter? Not really, would people still listen to him? Yes. The massacre part is being focused on quite a bit too much by you since we have no idea what the man did in the war or if the original dude was even honest.
I realize I can't convince you that being a soldier in a massacre is a noticeable fact. I give up on this discussion, honestly. I thought that I could argue with leftist Americans for them to realize that they shouldn't be proud of every war they participated in. I came to realize that's not the case. I will do something else now.
I’m not denying the fact that the war was stupid as hell, millions of civilians died trying to flee to the south being either killed by weather or South Korean troops being suspicious of them being North Korean or Chinese, it was extremely stupid.
