64 years ago today, 25 June 1950, North Korea attacked South Korea and, faced with a weak and disorganized defense, drove almost all the way to the port of Pusan, where a do-or-die defense held them until help could arrive.
My family paid a heavy personal price for that defense, and the war is still not over.
Sometimes I wonder if the North Koreans are trying to break the record of the Hundred Years War.
And for what? Political ideology and "saving face." |  |

Mine came from reading books from the local library a while ago. The title and author of which escapes me right now |
After 77 years, I have that problem virtually every day, but i always cite the source when I knowingly take it directly from somewhere. And if I know the author but not the specific source, I name the author.
This is something requiring integrity. | |

Anyone can go to Neath library. There are several books there on this subject. |  | | |

Aren't printed books just as susceptible to bias and/or historical inaccuracy as Wikipedia then? |  |

You took your info from Wikipedia.I rest my case |
Nope. I got my information from education. I used Wikipedia as an additional source to again prove you wrong.... really, it wasn't difficult!
Can you admit you were incorrect? Nope?
Thought not.
Get your facts in order before posting on historical events where facts are easily obtained. If you don't know - research it! |  |

And I posted mine from memory - only I was the one correct and you were the one arguing that I was wrong. I posted Wiki as a secondary source to show you that your 'facts' weren't facts afterall.
Feel free to Google elsewhere if you still don't trust the information....
Would be great if people here accepted humility at times, and not be knobs about being wrong. | |
