US Troops Defending Pusan“These unprepared soldiers often fought with the possibility of retreat cut off, for the favorite enemy tactic was to attack frontally to hold the Americans while other columns slipped around the flanks to cut off escape. Men who wished to avoid capture, then, were forced to drift through the mountains, or worse, through those filthy, stinking rice paddies which tormented them with myriads of stinging, disease-bearing insects and which sometimes sucked off their very boots…When the sun shone, the Korean countryside steamed and stank like a giant diaper pail. Reluctantly fighting somebody else’s war in somebody else’s land, where the climate was an alternating hell of heat and cold and where the people were not only generally indifferent to the outcome but also inclined to regard the American savior as more alien than the northern enemy.” –Robert Leckie

Beginning of Chapter 12: Sacrificial Lamb of the Cold War
By Young Sik Kim
"Americans are half-ape, half-human and have long thick hair all over their body, yes, even their women grow hair all over their
body, just like female dogs. Their body order is unbelievably foul and make you sick. They have huge sex organs about the size of
a bang-chi and copulate with anybody, men and women, including their own mother and kids. We should not let these animals in our
town and defend Japan to death."My Japanese school principal, Kapsan, Korea, 1945
My First American EncounterAs the US 1st Marine Division moved to Hamhung from Wonsan
and the ROK I Corps moved out on October 24, 1950, I saw US soldiers for the first time. One day I was playing in the street in front of my house when I spotted two strange looking figures coming over the hilltop. We stopped playing and watched the two strangers with some apprehension. We anticipated some sort of dramatic meeting. Well, to my disappointment, there were no uplifting words, no ruffles and flourishes.
