Your tax dollars pay to dishonor our war dead
More than 54,000 Americans were killed during the Korean War, fighting to push the Communist invaders back across the 38th Parallel. More than 103,000 GIs and Marines were wounded; more than 3,700 were captured by the enemy; and more than 8,100 are still missing in action.
All in all, the United States suffered more than 169,000 casualties from 1950-1954.
When we include the dead, wounded, missing and POWs of our allies (South Korea, Great Britain, Turkey, Australia, Canada, France, Thailand, Greece, Holland, Colombia, Eithiopia, Philippines, Belgium, New Zealand and South Africa), more than 1,000,000 men spilled their blood on behalf of the United Nations mandate to free the Koreans from the Chinese invaders and their Communist allies in the north.
Keep that in mind when you read how your tax dollars are being spent by the "Americans" at National Public Radio.
Mona Charen reports at National Review's The Corner:
I haven't listened to NPR in a while. So glad to see they haven't changed.
At the top of hour news roundup this morning I heard this tease:
"The largest army in the world turns 80 today. We'll go to China to celebrate."
Celebrate? Can you imagine that NPR would mark the anniversary of the US Marine Corps or Army with the word celebrate?
You don't have to be frothing at the mouth about China to find this enthusiasm for the Red Army head snapping.
"Head snapping" doesn't quite capture my sentiments.
Revolting, treasonous, gross disrespect for our war dead, evidence of societal self-loathing approaching pathological levels seem more appropriate.
NPR, celebrating the birthday of a repressive regime's military, responsible for the deaths of millions of people over the last 80 years.
Paid for by you.
