People like you only believe what they want to believe. You being a friend of marines doesn't cover the fact that you are a sad man. More interested in seeing naked women and underage girls. have a nice day John. Again, get a life. Sgt. Slaughter\Michael Jackson wannabe.

Ones who watched their buddies freeze to death with innadaquit equipment. Summer coats and light clothing for 40 below zero battle. Incomplete or incorrect training. Learn about the nightmare of Chosen from one who has survived it. Get a life, lord knows you wouldn't keep yours in battle. How about learning it from survivors of the Korean war.

Who do you think you're talking to? Partner, if you make this about who I am you're gonna lose. Wiki as a prime source? Figure the odds. Tell you what, try learning about the Korean War from someplace other than watching old MASH reruns. Young? Who do you think you’re talking to?

Read about Korea, or any other cold weather operation in american military history before you make comments like the above. And , yes, we have always had our asses handed to us during winter.

Now pardon me but when someone comments on two soldiers in 1941 as being a reason for anything that happened in Korea they should expect someone to say something. I also don't stipulate to your generalizations of "asses handed to us " and "we suck at fighting in the snow" ok whatever
