    During the Korean War, the The Mig 15 prevailed over allied aircraft in combat until the arrival of the North American F-86 Sabers. German WWII research influenced the design of both the Mig and Sabre, each of which had swept wings. The Sabre was armed by 50 calibre machine guns like American fighters of WWII. On the other hand, the Mig was intended to intercept American B-29's and was accordingly armed with three very powerful canons. This made the Mig very dangerous if its pilot could score even a hit or two. Arguments can be made about which was the better machine in combat, but possibly all round better trained Allied pilots contributed to victories over the Migs. On the other hand, the Mig could escape a fight due to its initial better rate of climb and slightly higher operational ceiling. Both types saw improvements over initial production. One interesting fact is that the Mig's engine was a licensed version of the Rolls Royce Nene. Without the cooperation of Rolls Royce and the British government, Russia could not have fielded a fighter in time that was the equal to the Sabre or perhaps even to the British Meteors and the US Navy's Panthers.

    As always I enjoy listening to Dr. Hanson and this is no exception. But I do think he is overly generous when he says the American forces fought magnificently. Some elements did, especially the Marines, but the Army had a lot of units bugging out haphazardly at the first sound of Chinese trumpets. Many American officers complained about this and the Brits were especially critical of the way the Americans cut and ran in chaotic fashion. Like I say, some units stood their ground but to say as whole they were magnificeint is a reach. As soon as he took command Ridgway saw that the Army lacked discipline and morale was in the toilet, mostly because the soldiers just weren't trained. MacArthur was too busy being the emperor of Japan to make sure the troops under his direct command were trained properly and the kids coming from state-side units were scared shitless and led by a mixed bag of officers. I'm not saying this to slam the military. I served, 23 years in fact, so I have mad respect for the guys who had to deal with the hand they were dealt in that mess. But it was a far messier mess than people realize. The Code of Conduct came about as a direct result of the way military discipline was lacking in Korea. The Marines had the highest survival rates because they were the most disciplined. And the big take away, that wars of containment are never a good idea, was lost on most everyone. Policy makers thought if it worked in South Korea it would work anywhere, especially Vietnam because after-all all Asians are alike. You'd think they would have learned that was false during WWII after fighting the Japanese. Another lesson that had been around since the War of 1812 was glossed over; if you have a democratic system don't get into a war that lacks popular support. Truman should have listened to the warnings he was getting from India regarding Chinese intentions if he went north and he should have looked around and gauged the national sentiment. Americans were never that gung-ho about the thing. Return the status-quo, declare victory, and come home. The same advice LBJ got and ignored in 65. Some lessons are never learned.

    I would say the young man had a desire to die gloriously in battle. You know that a desire to die in battle is a thing. I grow weary of the essential denigration of the so called average American as they are not brave or courageous. People join the military for all kinds of reasons. People in the military kill people who are only fighting because their leader told them to fight. Their many people who lack the ability to feel fear. The people who do feel fear and put themselves in harms way are brave and courageous. The people who do not feel fear are simply not normal. This nation is not great because we have ability to kill the most people. This country is/should be great for the principles which is supposed to guide it. So please stop with the rhetoric of soldiers holding a higher status. Doing so puts you one step closer to serfdom.

    If university hiring and admission committees reversed course and started ignoring identity politics, it wouldn't affect the outcome disparities that created identity politics; you need to end those disparities first (which is what affirmative action tried and has evidently failed to impact thus far), which means you have to change how disadvantaged people are being raised and figure out how to increase their opportunities for advancement long before college. They need more resources at the ground level; ending affirmative action at the university level without addressing the originating disparities would only push us back toward the status quo ante where the already privileged cemented their privilege across generations.

      That notion comes from the Camelot myth-makers, party hacks like Schlesinger and Sorenson, even his own brothers. Kennedy increased the number of military advisors at a steady rate and dished out contracts for helicopters and fighter-bombers like it was 1942. He couldn't overtly go after Castro after the Bay of Pigs and the Missile Crisis, though he certainly pulled a lot of covert nonsense with his brother Bobby leading the charge. Berlin was off-limits so he had to make a stand somewhere. He may not have stuck around as long as LBJ did but there is more actual evidence of his holding a hard line there than the revisionists can provide for the idea that he would pull out.

      Korea can defend itself against the North. US is an insurance policy to remind the North not to try something dumb. The point of deterence is to prevent another conflict. The USFK is by itself a deterence. Plus, if the US leaves S. Korea, the country will get nukes and there goes US policy of halting nuclear prolifetation...

    • @cragnamorra

      The ROK army has something like 350,000 troops. 2200 tanks. 5000+ artillery. About 700 aircraft in the ROKAF. While not as large as the US (or DPRK, for that matter) military obviously (like most countries), that's a pretty sizable and credible force, and far larger than the US forces actually stationed in Korea (perhaps 30K-ish ballpark). It would very much be a case of "defending WITH" the ROKs, not "defending FOR". If the DPRK do ever come across the DMZ, most of them would be fighting ROK units, rather than US. And there's no reason to think that South Korean forces would not fight well. They generally did in 1950-53. At very least, US troops' regard for their ROKA allies usually seems have been much higher here than their successors would find later with the ARVN. (something I think VDH could have brought out a little while contrasting the two conflicts).

We lost around 600,000 soldiers." The ONE MILLION number was suggested by Max Hastings without any evidence but is well loved by American Jingos.

    Beware the Manhattan Institute (MI). They may seem to be a 'voice of reason'. However, MI is a right-wing think tank funded by ultra-conservative (the Koch brothers) and fossil fuel corporations (ExxonMobsters*), which have spread misinformation for decades (in the style of the tobacco companies) to cast doubt on the science and reality of human-caused global warming. MI promotes non-progressive, regressive policies and the further corporatization of America, exacerbating income inequality, the destruction of labor, the shafting of the middle class, and ordinary hard-working Americans. Please don't get hypnotized by the fancy talk and culture-war wedge-issue distractions from MI. Read between the lines and follow the money. Thanks to MI and its ilk, the obscenely rich keep on getting richer, the poor majority gets poorer, while the planet burns. * It is now known that scientists at Exxon remarkably accurately predicted global warming due to the burning of fossil fuels many decades ago.

    He omitted Truman himself publicly saying that Korea was of no importance to America only a couple of months before the war broke out. That's the biggest reason for the Reds getting convinced that they could take South Korea. The lightening fast destruction of the 2,000,000 strong Japanese Kwantung Army by the USSR is omitted here. It's the single most glaring example of Blitzkreig warfare in military history. It should have been noted by the Yanks. Ditto, knowledge of the Russian Front - there were umpteen Axis POW's who had a wealth of knowledge about it. Explanation for all of this = Yank complacency and arrogance - which is covered by Hanson. This same factor is shown with America being the prime mover in provoking Russia into a war with Ukraine. America really does still think it's more good than bad even now, summed up with the phrase "On the right side of history". This man omits the South Korean Army also holding the Pusan Perimeter, as well as the USA. He also doesn't address the tactical incompetence very well described by Colonel David Hackworth in "About Face" of the US Army in the Korean War. The aerial, naval and logictical might of America more than compensates for that.

      Maybe you should read 1/100th ( 1/1,000th? ) of the subject matter that Dr. Hanson has before you sit in judgment. The Soviet Union didn't "fight the war" on the Allies side. They agreed with Hitler not to attack each other so Germany could focus on consolidating Europe and preparing for the Allies' invasion of the continent. It was only when Germany broke the pact and attacked Russia, that the Soviets wanted to switch sides. Similarly, you ignored Hanson recounting the fact that the Soviets would not help in the war effort against Japan in the Pacific until the last two weeks of the war, when they positioned themselves easily for the post-war era.

One is responsible for one's education!
