So the Viet Cong were such brave warriors that they had to hide behind women and children, inviting Americans and Koreans to kill them so that they can mass publicize the killings to their own benefit for maximum propaganda. Cowardice of terrorists. This is something that is going on over there in Iraq. The Muslim terrorists took the page right out of the Viet Cong, Vietnamese must be real proud. In the meantime, I have never seen Vietnamese whine about their dead killed by their own kind. Only foreigners are evil, never the Vietnamese.

Yes, those crazy VCs. They did horrible things. But if it had not been for America imposing a fake war on us, none of this would have happened. What do you think? Not to mention, the SK troops contributed to the crime by barging in for their own economic and military gain. Shame.

I have discovered new evidence of mass atrocities committed by Vietnamese criminals. According to this article, this case is the 'worst' of any mass genocide of the Vietnam War. Shocking!

Atrocity at Dak Son

In its December 15, 1967 issue, Time magazine described what it called the "worst atrocity yet committed in the Viet Nam war." Dak Son was a hamlet of some 2,000 Montagnard refugees about 75 miles northeast of Saigon. The Communists were intensely interested in Dak Son because the refugees had months earlier fled from life under the Viet Cong. Lest others get the same idea, the Communists decided to make an example of the Montagnards who, Time noted, "were completely unarmed...." On December 5, 1967, "a handful of Viet Cong crawled up to the wall-and-wire perimeter of the hamlet" and called for its inhabitants "to surrender and come out. When they got no takers, they withdrew," but returned and launched their attack around midnight, "pouring machine-gun, mortar and rocket fire into Dak Son."

The 600 Viet Cong assembled outside the hamlet "were armed with 60 flame-throwers. Yelling and screaming, they attacked the town, shooting countless streams of liquid fire that lit up the night and terrified by its very sight a people who had only recently discovered the use of matches." Most of the victims were women and children.

The Viet Cong "were not intent on a military victory but on the cold-blooded, monumental massacre of the helpless Montagnards." To that end, "long ugly belches of flame lashed out from every direction, garishly illuminating the refugee hamlet and searing and scorching everything in their path. The shrieking refugees still inside their houses were incinerated. Many of those who had time to get down into dogholes beneath the houses were asphyxiated. Spraying fire about in great whooshing arcs, the Viet Cong set everything afire: trees, fences, gardens, chickens, the careful piles of grain from the annual harvest. Huts that somehow survived the holocaust were leveled with grenades. Then the hoses of fire were sprayed down inside the exposed burroughs. Later, the Communists incinerated a patch of the main town just for good measure."

Only when they ran out of flame-thrower fuel did the Viet Cong resort to guns. "Forcing 160 of the survivors out of their dogholes," Time continued, "they shot 60 of them to death on the spot. Then, finally abandoning the smoking ruins of Dak Son at dawn, they dragged away with them into the jungle another 100 of the survivors."

Some survivors were left behind. Numb with horror, they "stumbled out to look for wives, children and friends. They held handkerchiefs and cabbage leaves to their faces to ward off the smell of burnt flesh that hung over everything. One by one the dogholes were emptied, giving up the fire-red, bloated, peeling remains of human beings. Charred children were locked in ghastly embrace, infants welded to their mother's breasts. The victims were almost all women and children. The dead adults were covered with scorched mats and blankets salvaged from the ashes, the bodies of babies laid in bamboo baskets. One man lost 13 members of his family."

Massacre at Huế

Mass executions by the North Vietnamese included a horrendous 2800 civilians and POW's, at a span of little over few hours. Worst intentional mass killings of any event in the war.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massacre_at_Hu%E1%BA%BF

Yes, I'll admit, my first thread there was flaimbait. However, my second and third thread were to expose the issue seriously in which not many Koreans are ware of. EAD went to Viet chat to troll. I have nothing more to say. By the way, this thread should be closed since they closed mine for no reason.

Thanks Chuckie for you great work. I am looking forward to learning more about the VC massacres.

Oh, by the way, why was my threads in Kchat closed? What was the reason? I understnad why my first one was closed, but my second and third was serious (EAD and enomoski were there posting nonsense). I was waiting for more serious Korean users to reply. Anyway, this website sucks i guess.

Now that ive pwned you in all three topics you made in K-chat im just going to mention two things here.

I did not troll in Viet chat. I only mentioned that military kill ratios do not factor in civilian casualties. Thats all I did. You have some serious growing up you need to do if you find something so trivial as this a threat to your viet nationalism.

Now I suggest you lay low unless you want me to embarrass you in front of your own people(9 hours, your lies, your innacurate statements etc which im pretty sure you dont want the Viet posters here to know).

Nope, you went here to troll, laugh at the Vietnamese, brag about kill ratios. Stop LYING. And no, you did not pwn me. that's why you desperately asked for the threads to be closed. The shame hit you

Talk about denial.

Do you even know what military kill ratios are? They only factor in combat deaths, not civilian casualties. I only corrected you and that other ignorant poster on this simple fact. And what did you do? You two went berzerk due to the possibility of the Vietcong losing.

Why dont you stop lying. You are a proven liar and I can name several instances in which you lied. Anyways im done for the day.

Enjoy your daily +9 hours on the computer.

Why this thread should close so early, when you have had your chance to 'reveal the truth' for the last 48 hours? I think it should only be fair that I should have the same opportunity to reveal the truth about the Vietnamese atrocities.

EAD is making everything so childish. Anyway, my last post today.

For all the Vietnamese, please read these threads. I know we don't give a $hit about SK, but this is history. PEACE

Korean war crimes in Vietnam
Confessions of Korean war atrosities in Vietnam
Vietnam helped South Korea industrialized

Stop using those kinds of word to bring up the hype.
First of all, tofu, I understand tofu's anger over the issue but you need to understand the Korean's mentality and even in the case they gonna brag about it, will anyone ever believe? Understanding about their mentality and current credibility, then you just don't need to talk about these things.
1962, no matter what it is, it's strictly Vietnam's business, don't let the prejudice lead your mind.

For the some of the nationalist Korean, I have tried to explain about your issues in this thread,

http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/index.php?...t=8&start=1

if you would like to drag this problem further, that will just lead more stuff like how Korean murder Korean & such. The whole thing will turn out to be crap, a laughing stock.


To both Korean Chat Mods & Vietnamese Chat Mods, close these kinds of stupid threads. Thanks.

Massacre at My Loc

Wall Street Journal Articles:

Commentary:
The Consequence of War
May 1, 2001

The Vietnamese government is happy to trot out witnesses from the supposed atrocity conducted by Bob Kerrey's Navy SEAL's at Thanh Phong. It is doubtful that they would be so cooperative if questions were asked about Communist killings in places such as My Loc.


In April 1969, the Marine rifle company to which I was assigned was operating in the An Hoa Basin of Vietnam, west and south of DaNang. In addition to our routine of long-range combat patrols and defensive positions along a vital and heavily contested road, it was decided that we would provide security for a "town meeting" hosted by the South Vietnamese government's district chief, who had been criticized for living in the distant and more secure confines of DaNang. Over the space of a few days, visits were made to nearby hamlets, where 30 delegates were chosen to attend the meeting. After that, the district chief and his senior aide were brought in on the morning convoy.

A thatch-covered "hooch" at the bottom of our perimeter, about the size of a typical American living room, was chosen as the meeting place. Shortly after the meeting began, a Viet Cong assassination team raced through the thick foliage, hit the hooch, and fled. My rifle platoon was returning from a combat patrol as explosions rang out to our front. In seconds a Viet Cong soldier sprinting down the trail collided with my point man. I can still see his young face, adrenalized and madly grinning, as he was captured. And I remember the sight of the others as we reached the hooch.

The floor inside was covered with an ankle-deep mix of blood, innards, limbs and bodies. I and several others waded into the human mire, emptying bodies from the hooch and finding medical care for those who had survived. Nineteen people were dead, including the district chief and his aide. The aide's right arm was blown off near the elbow, its tendons like slim white feathers, as if he had been reaching to catch a grenade.

Nearby an older woman sat motionless against a wall, her face stunned and her dark eyes piercing, untouched except for a small, square hole in her forehead. I thought she was alive until I grabbed her arm. The wounded squirmed on the floor, reaching past dead bodies as they crawled in the muck, covered thickly with blood and twisting among each other like giant fishing worms.

We cleaned out the hooch, evacuated the wounded, washed at a nearby well, and went back to our war. By the next day this incident was over, a little piece of history in the long and ugly journey of a combat tour. But in the coming months as I reflected on them, the killings at My Loc raised an important distinction, which has become even more relevant with the media firestorm over Bob Kerrey's ill-fated SEAL patrol in the Mekong Delta.

Civilians have a terrible time in any war zone -- fully one-third of the population of Okinawa was killed in 12 weeks of fighting on that island in 1945. But in a guerrilla war, the support or control of the local population, rather than the conquest of territory, is the ultimate objective. Civilians become enmeshed in the actual fighting, inseparable from it.

They fight among themselves for political dominance of a local area. They form an infrastructure and quietly support one side or the other when it moves through their village. They suffer greatly when battles are fought on top of them, and when emotions overcome logic and troops snap, as at My Lai. But the villagers of My Loc and others like them, clearly noncombatants, were killed purely as a matter of political control, for having met with a South Vietnamese government official and given some legitimacy to his authority.

Any American who directed a similar slaughter, or participated in it, would have been court-martialed. This distinction was basic to our policy in Vietnam, and it seems to have been lost by many over the past week. The body language and word choices of many media commentators indicates clearly that a larger issue -- how history will judge our involvement in Vietnam -- is still very much in play, and a big part of that issue is to continue to demean the American sacrifices in that war.

Words like "atrocity" and "massacre" are routinely being thrown about, with some even calling for Nuremberg-like trials for American war crimes in Vietnam. Aggressive reporters have played "gotcha" with every Kerrey statement. How could he say it was a moonless night when the charts say it was a half-moon? (Try clouds. Or canopy. Or vegetation.) Did he take one shot or many shots at the first outpost? Did he kneel on a guy when his throat was getting cut?

For many who went through extensive combat in Vietnam, such parsing brings back an anger caused by memories not of the war but of the condescending arrogance directed at them upon their return, principally by people in their own age group who had risked nothing and yet microscopically judged every action of those who had risked everything and often lost a great deal. Combat in a guerrilla war requires constant moral judgments, in an environment with unending pressure, little sleep, and no second chances for yourself or the people you are leading when you guess wrong. Were we perfect? No. Were we worse than Americans in other wars, or our enemy in this one? Hardly.

Which brings us to the recent attention given the Kerrey patrol. There is much in the New York Times magazine story to make one uneasy. The key "witness" from the village where the incident took place is the wife of a former Viet Cong soldier, who now has told Time magazine that she did not actually see the killings. She and the other Vietnamese witness, who was 12 at the time of the incident, live in a communist state where propaganda regarding America's "evil" war effort is one of the mainsprings of political legitimacy -- not the best conditions to produce honesty in cases with international implications.

The one member of Mr. Kerrey's SEAL team to allege extreme conduct did not pass the credibility test with Newsweek magazine when the story was considered there. CBS's "60 Minutes," which co-sponsored the investigation, seems to have an affinity for stories about Americans committing atrocities, having rehashed My Lai as the best way to remember the 30th anniversary of 1968, the year that brought the worst fighting, and highest American casualties, of the war.

Most important, to one practiced in both combat and journalism, a key and possibly determinative piece of information seems vastly underplayed. According to the Times magazine story, archive records of Army radio transmissions indicate that two days after the incident, "an old man from Thanh Phong presented himself to the district chief's headquarters with claims for retribution for alleged atrocities committed the night of 25 and 26 February 69. Thus far it appears 24 people were killed. 13 were women and children and one old man. 11 were unidentified and assumed to be VC."

Given the tone of the story, this radio transmission was probably included because it refers to the Kerrey patrol as having committed an atrocity. But a closer reading would appear to confirm the position of Mr. Kerrey and the five others on the patrol that they took fire and returned it, with the loss of civilian lives an unfortunate consequence.

This piece of evidence is perhaps the most objective account available of the results of the Kerrey patrol, coming as it does from a time near the incident, from a man who was asking for retribution and thus was hardly trying to cover things up. It also coincides with Mr. Kerrey's recollection of 13 or 14 dead civilians in the village before the team left the scene, as any Viet Cong soldiers would most likely have been on the other side of the villagers who were killed, perhaps even using them as a screen while attempting to escape.

As has often been said over the past week, we will never know the exact details of what occurred. But if a seven-man patrol operating independently at night far inside enemy territory killed 11 Viet Cong soldiers after coming under fire, it would seem they hit their assigned target. And the loss of civilian life that accompanied this brief but brutal firefight adds up not to an atrocity or a massacre, but to a tragic consequence of a war fought in the middle of a civilian population.

Which brings us to the recent attention given the Kerrey patrol. There is much in the New York Times magazine story to make one uneasy. The key "witness" from the village where the incident took place is the wife of a former Viet Cong soldier, who now has told Time magazine that she did not actually see the killings. She and the other Vietnamese witness, who was 12 at the time of the incident, live in a communist state where propaganda regarding America's "evil" war effort is one of the mainsprings of political legitimacy -- not the best conditions to produce honesty in cases with international implications.

Ladies and Gentlemen..................................Commie Crimes Against Civilians(this is just a small sample):

The War Takes A Nasty Turn
[40]

A prime target of the communist offensive was the Hmong ADC militia at Ban Ban Valley, commanded by Chong Shoua Yang. For nearly a year Chong Shoua had frustrated communist efforts to raze the Neutralist garrison at Ban Ban by holding the high ground, principally the mountain villages of Pha Ka and Phou Nong. The Pathet Lao repeatedly tried to dislodge the ADC from the two villages, but on each occasion fell short. During the April 1964 offensive, the communists went after Chong Shoua with four battalions, three of them NVA, unleashing a deadly artillery and mortar barrage that tore the two mountain villages apart.

[41]

Chong Shoua retreated, leading his militia and what was left of the villagers, south toward nearby mountains. Shells continued to drop from the sky, striking not only Pha Ka and Phou Nong but blasting several other villages nearby. These civilians also fled for their lives. The flood of refugees quickly exceeded fourteen thousand, fleeing in three separate groups. In the past the communists had not bothered to waste bullets on fleeing refugees, but this time they kept up the harassment, driving them on.

[42]

One group of six thousand was hounded by a small force, then driven up into the highlands and herded into a bowl-like depression. Waiting for them was a much larger force of four hundred NVA already in position around the edges of the basin. The harassing force pulled back to give the Hmong a false sense of security. The four hundred communists lying in wait watched patiently as the refugees below made camp and tended to their children.

[43]

By midnight most of the refugees were asleep. Suddenly, eyes popped open and heads jerked at the whoosh of shells exiting mortar tubes. Dozens of Hmong had already begun to scatter when the missiles exploded, kicking bodies into the air. Bullets from AK-47s tore into the encampment. The refugees ran blindly in the dark from one side of the basin to the other, trying to find an escape route, each time rushing directly into another deadly rifle barrage.

[44]

Above, on the rim, an order was barked out in Vietnamese. Soldiers dashed down the hillsides, screaming like banshees, most running at full tilt but a few on the steeper inclines sliding by the seat of their pants over slick limestone to get at the Hmong. When they reached the basin the NVA troops pushed into the confusion of bodies, tossing grenades into clumps of people, shooting until their magazines were empty, then drawing their knives to slash at arms and shoulders and stab at stomachs and backs. A few soldiers picked up small children and swung them like sacks, bashing their heads against rocks.

[45]

During the height of the killing, a few Hmong discovered an escape route and called out to the others. There was a massed rush to get away. The Vietnamese went after them in the darkness, slitting the throats of some stragglers, disemboweling others, and shooting yet others in the leg so they could be left and finished off at leisure later. Bodies littered the refugees' escape route, life still ebbing from a few who had survived a stabbing or bullet wound, groaning in pain and pleading for someone to help them. By early morning the Vietnamese gave up the chase. Sides heaving, their black pajama uniforms encrusted with blood, they were finally exhausted from their butchery. Nearly thirteen hundred Hmong, including women and children, lay dead, carved up like livestock in a slaughterhouse.{19}

[46]

The Vietnamese took two hundred survivors prisoner. The rest of the approximately forty-five hundred Hmong who had escaped the carnage and eluded capture walked forty miles to Muong Meo, a village with an airstrip that had become a magnet for thousands of other Hmong displaced by the communist offensive on the eastern edge of the Plain of Jars. More than twenty thousand refugees were already assembled, waiting to be evacuated. Air America transport planes arrived the next day and ferried refugees nonstop to Vang Pao's SGU training camp at Muong Cha.

[47]

For the Hmong the war had taken a nasty turn. "

These sections were taken from Harvesting Pa Chay's Wheat: The Hmong and America's Secret War in Laos

by Keith Quincy-------------> This is a Great Book .

We were just killing a bunch of Montagnards. Montagnards helped the US kill Vietnamese, so we back-fired their ethnic.

Lets see which ethnic would dare to fight against Vietnamese.

Tofu quotes Time article which in turn took the quotes from Korea's Hankyoreh newspaper, that more than 5000 Vietnamese civilians were killed by Koreans. Let's take that as bald face truth. 5000 killed by Koreans is dwarfed by how many Vietnamese killed. Why, in one day only at Hue, the Communist Vietnamese killed 2800 in one swoop. The massacres by Vietnamese are so numerous that it is impossible to count, yet the Koreans are portrayed as the savage butchers. I can continue to post up more massacres that were perpetuated by Vietnamese murderers.

http://www.olive-drab.com/od_history_vietnam_atrocities.php

I dont get it? Killers are killers. Is this some sort of a game that some korean and Viet playing to see which side spilled less blood on their hands during the Viet Nam war? If you're stained with innocents' blood then you're cold blooded killers.

Today there is no killing of Vietnamese civilians commited by the Korean or the current Viet government.

I just want to clarify that the Vietnameses that Asean refered is VC.

Atrocities were made by boths sides of the war, Devoting the Blame for one side for everything is a rather Biased thing to do...Unless You like Rambo and believe in the Goody-Goody world...Get real.

I think the charade by tofu101 is quite obvious....Noticed I quoted 1962VW. I'm not specifically responding to 1962VW. Just wanted to show what a lame charade it is. Even 1962VW knows it. Tofu101 does a horrible job trying to smear. The only people who does worst are the Americans.


According to the the U.S., U.S. soldiers that are killed by VC are considered war crimes. Don't believe me? Look at chucky3176's post on olive-drab.com that claimed NVA slaughtered wounded US troops. The list goes on to mention the killings of lackeys at Dak Son. If you go there and read it, the site carefully labeled its words and defines how and what is considered a war crimes so it can stretch the lies. If tortured is what olive-drab calls war crimes, then the US is committing ungodly acts of war crimes on people held at GITMO and secret prison around the world. Not to mention they also torture VC prisoners during the war. Funny, the site doesn't mention that....

So basically, to Americans and their lackeys, VC killing US soldiers equals war crimes. VC killing US Lackeys equals war crimes. US/US Lackeys killing VC DOESN"T EQUAL war crimes. This is the best claim that Amercians and their lackeys can do...


Dak Son and Hue seems to be the best that the lackeys or the Americans can claimed. Hue has already been discussed in previous threads.


Dak Son, which chucky3176 posted is from 11th Armored Cavalry's Veterans of Vietnam & Cambodia's website. As I've already stated, VC killing lackeys is considered a war crime. Lackeys killing VC DOESN'T EQUAL war crimes according to them. What's funny about their site is, under Viet Cong atrocities, there is only 1 entry and 1 link to more whiny US soldiers mistreatment. LOL...
http://tinyurl.com/2oej9q

War crimes is what the US/Lackeys did when they RAPED and MURDER women and babies, slaughtering unarmed civilians....then tried to blame the VC for it.

When we got closer I could see it was burned bodies of several dozen babies. The odor of burned flesh, which really is an unforgettable smell, reached us outside the village and of course got stronger at the center. People were trying to breath through cabbage leaves . . . I saw a small boy a smaller girl, probably his sister, sort of melted together in a charred embrace. I saw a mother burned black still hiding two children, also burned black. Everything was burned and black. The worst was the wail of the survivors who were picking through the smoldering ruins. One man kept screaming and screaming at the top of his lungs. For an hour he kept it up. He wasn't hurt that I could tell. He just kept screaming until a doctor gave him a shot of morphine or something . . . Fire bloats bodies I learned, and after a few hours the skin splits and peels and curls . . . The far end of the village wasn't burned; the communists ran out of flamethrower fuel before they got to it . .
." Estimated toll: 252 dead, about two-thirds of them women and children; 200 abducted, never to return.

^also plz do what other posters did... include the sources that you got the information from.

tofu101,

Chucky is simply doing a bait-n-switch.

He's comparing apples to oranges. You're are talking about foreigner attrocities. Chucky is talking about Viet on Viet, i.e. civil war attrocities. This is simply grotesque.

You can use his same logic and post flamebait about Korea on Korean attrocities, i.e. N. Korean vs S. Korean, and in particular N. Korea on N. Korea--which resemble that of Cambodian on Cambodian attrocities in that tragic killing fields episode, which Vietnam stopped--to our considerable credit. This alone gives us ENORMOUS moral superiority.

Further, you can bring up the fact that Korean conscripts in the imperial Japanese army were hated even more than the Japanese themselves--this is saying a lot since the Japanese were so utterly satanic in WWII. The Brits who survived the building of that famous/infamous bridge over the River Kwai (???) hated the Koreans even more than they hated their Japanese captors.

Lastly, your constant anti-Korean flame-baiting is coming back to haunt you, regardless of how mindless & misguided I find the Korean (counter) flamers to be.

These are recorded events published in books, newspapers, etc... All the website did was collect them and put them in a chronological list.

But you did post it in an earlier thread...
http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/lofiversio...hp/t132993.html


And it was from a whiny VNCH.
http://www.petitiononline.com/vietland/petition.html

You're slow. The original source of the list is:

http://www.11thcavnam.com/education/namterror.htm.

Why did you lied when I ask if you posted it earlier? And if it was from a whiny VNCH. The petitononline and the 11thcavnam seems to be the only link. Can I get some sources???


11thcavnam isn't the source they take their source from the outside just like the time article on Dak Son.


Let me correct that...Can I please get some unbias sources????

God, you are too slow.

What was there to lie about? Yes, I posted this list once before on AF.
But people took the list from this site:

http://www.11thcavnam.com/education/namterror.htm

This website only collected them and put them in chronogical order. Google each event the website listed, you will find the source of the event, if not, find old newspapers and books.

Again you are too slow.

And dont forget about all VNCH soldiers that died in the re education camps after 1975. And boat people, like some of you, but unfortunately died on the way out of the hell hole to look for a better life in the 80s.

I did and nothing turned up? Can I please get some unbias sources???

also in books and old newspapers

Should I start listing VNCH attrocities? nah I've done it way too much.

I could really be nasty and list all of their crimes from the first 2 Indochina wars.

I noticed you left parts out from the 11cavnam website..

"In the name of justice and for the sake of all the victims of Vietnamese Communist's war crimes, please ask that they (VCP) be investigated and prosecuted by the newly formed United Nations War Crimes Tribunal.

For your information, here is a list by date of some of the war crimes members of the Vietnamese Communist Party are guilty of."


This is definitely from the petitiononline whiny VNCH. I'm still waiting for some unbias sources....any????

Why are you so slow? This VNCH took the list from 11cavnam and created an online petition and posted the list there.

Are you trying to play dumb?

Why do you keep lying?

Look at the wordings. It is exactly from whiny VNCH.


Convenient of you to leave out such things. What? No unbias sources?????LOL

Forget about the comments of the author of the list.

Google search each event, If you can't find it online, find it in old newspapers, books, video archives. Better yet, go to the place where the event took place, ask the locals there about it.

That's the main thing.



BTW, Any serviceman or person that kills civilians needs to be tried. I don't care whether they are Koreans, Vietcongs, VNCH, Americans...etc.

I'm on nobody's side on this.

Thanks for the laugh.

Time to move on people. That war was thing in the past. Both sides probably did do bad deeds to each others. Do you think war is noble? Nope. There were also a lot of propaganda so veracity cannot always be verified.

Move on goddamn it. It's usually whiny VNCH b!tches that wants to talk about the war.

You have no one to blame but your own crappy leadership.

If you don't pay attention to them, they would soon realize that no one cares to hear about their sordid past. This thread seems so heated, so I tried to cool things down a bit.

Why don't you sit back in retrospect of what the Japanese did to your people, Koreans.
If you think what the Japanese did to your people was justified, come back here and we will discuss more on the subject matter.

Keep -- tofu101 -- away from Korean Chat. This idoit is keep making topics about Vietnam war. Koreans fought a war in Vietnam, it was to kill or be killed situation. Some civilians got killed in cross-fire or even shot at . During the war innocent people die, and Korean soldiers are not responsible for the death of civilians.

Do not clarify for the worst. The so called "communists" are people of the same ethnic kinh. The ones that should not be considered are the non-kinh ethnic like you tim. You are in fact not the people of the same ethnic as us, so do not run around considering yourself vietnamese.

I was referring the people of kinh ethnic as Vietnamese, so stop clarify your non-sense.

Korean needs to admit they counted civilian in their kill/death ratio through air strikes, massacre, etc... I guess that's too much to ask coz it damage Korean superiority. coz we corean wer'e super!!! Japanese are evil they killed innocent corean blah blah blah. Korean marines are supper!

I guess this lady is lying coz according to some Korean the survivors' testimony is FALSE and non trust worthy. Lying @$$ korean lady talking about how she was raped 40 times a day by Japanese soldiers. All lies, Japanese would never rape ugly korean. Why? Because Japanese soldiers are/were highly intelligence and discipline. har har har.


From now on I'll denial and won't acknowledge anything bad that Japanese had done to Korean.

Its so easy ignoring $hit no wonder why lots of people do it.


Japanese massacre/raping of Korean? I dun'know' whatchu'talkin bout!!!!!!!

so base on your logic it was okay for the imperial Japanese to raped and put Korean women into slave prostitution? Civilians get caught in a crossfire/friendly fire is one thing but to specifically target civilians is murder.
