"The Marines X Corps?"

It was the 1st Marine Division. The Chinese probably felt like they were fighting a Corps size(three divisions) formation. A single Marine Division handed them their ass on their way out of the resevoir.

Semper Fi.

"wave upon human wave of useless frontal attacks ". This was a strategy that erected a mobile barricade in front of our guns by the the use of their fallen bodies. Very clever these guys. They didn't have to carry sandbags.

As a former "Devil Dog" I say "freakin' A!" The PRC's so called "Chinese People's Volunteers" and the NKPA still fear the USMC! I say we go back & fight them commie bastards! "Frozen Chosin 2!" I don't know who this commie twinkle toe SOB thinks he/she/it is but revising history to fit their way of life won't win over "comrades" to their cause. I believe this commie crapola would appeal only to "traitors of freedom" (left wing liars, cowards and criminals). "Semper Fi, Do or Die!"

And a good friend of mine was there at the reservoir... one of the Chosin Few...

BTW, why is this coming out now? Are the ChiComs gearing up for something? I know they were producing a lot of anti-American propaganda in the days following 9-11, most of which, I presume, was geared to the Afghans and Pakis... with a lot of success (NOT)....
