Not in defense of the Yellow hordes…but MacArthur was talking about nuking them as our troops approached the Yalu.
They were not invading Korea to take territory.
I am sorry your husband suffered. My Dad was a combat vet from that war.
Regardless of our personal feelings of that war, it was not a war of Chinese aggression.
Defense spending that now won't be there for the Navy.
This ASSHAT should be hung as a traitor for giving away information like this.
We provided missiles which sank Russias biggest ship on the Black Sea and helped take back Snake Island so it could not be used by Russia to try to attack Odessa. There have also been some small, unusual semi-torpedo craft used to sink some small war vessels.
Giving away what information?
That we're diminishing our military-readiness by sending everything over to Ukraine?
Don't think that's a secret.
A competent Navy keeps a weather eye on land war issues. Who do you think has to transport major units? And support invasions. And a competent Army pays attention to sea concerns. There’s nothing odd about the Navy getting concerned about the Army’s stockpiles. Especially since the Marines will have to come clean up the mess.
“We provided missiles which sank Russias biggest ship on the Black Sea and helped take back Snake Island so it could not be used by Russia to try to attack Odessa.”
According to the reports I read, the Moskva was hit by Ukrainian Neptune missiles. The RK-360MC Neptun is a Ukrainian anti-ship missile system. It was developed by Luch design bureau. Luch is a major Ukrainian developer of components for the defense industry.
North Korea and South Korea were not China. We were definitely fighting Chinese troops in North Korea, and since my husband spoke a lot about the Chosin Reservoir, that may be where he experienced Chinese wave attack combat. He also fought a lot during the 2 years of “peace” negotiations near Seoul in S. Korea.

Here is a very detailed history of that war which killed around 3 million people. Looking at other sites it appears a little under 200,000 Chinese were killed on Korean land, and not quite 400,000 Chinese wounded there. I was surprised at the major influence of Russia in this war which makes me that much more committed to the idea of helping Ukraine win.

China eventually retreated back to Chinese land, but I hardly considere N. Korea free of Chinese influence and control. A little like Belarus and Russia.
The Secretary of the Navy is worrying about weapons for the USMC.
“Also, if it’s part of China, as YOU seem to believe it is”
Either Alinsky #13, or you’re such an ignorant oaf that you don’t even know that Taiwan is part of China.
Well since we can’t be invaded or subdued in a war (nor could China, Russia, India, or really any nuclear power) the amount we spend on “defense” is a bit extreme anyway. We could topple China by simply treating them the way we did the Soviet Union. No trade and minimal diplomatic ties. The starving rural hordes will take care of them for us after their economy collapses. Why 6-7 billion people kowtow to 1 billion Chinese peoples’ every whim is beyond ridiculous.
Actually, China is more like a billion three, but who’s counting. China is doing a fairly good job of collapsing its own economy. First a shutdown so severe there were literally people starving because they could not shop. Then throwing everything wide open with few cautions, and lots of sick and hospitalized people. The Chinese government and economics is also sending foreign business to other countries in Asia in substantial quantities.
Actually Chinese don’t speak Chinese. They mostly speak Mandarin or Cantonese, except for dozens of other languages spoken by other small groups. Kind of like Mexico when I studied some Nahuatl (Aztec language) spoken by 1/2 million Mexicans, as I learned in my linguistics class. Or like the village of some 500 to 1000 people I rode to six miles on horseback, near Zan Cristobal de las Casas in southern Mexico. When we went to ask the Mayor (alcalde) for permission to walk around his thatched hut village, we discovered he and his two deputies were the only Spanish speakers in the village. That village spoke a Mayan dialect.
