Yesterday dear reader, I told you of the book A History of the Modern Chinese Army that I am currently reading and you should have purchased by now. I spent an hour or so reading before turning out the light last night, and was on a chapter about the Korean War. Here's some more stats that American politicians, leftist looneys, and our military planners need to start focusing on. In the spring of 1951, the Chinese launched what they called the 'fifth campaign', we here call them 'operations'....i.e.'Operation Rattlesnake'. This offensive operation/campaign lasted from Aprit to May of 1951, when the Chinese and North Koreans deployed 700,000 troops against 340,000 United Nations forces. At the end of the campaign sometime in May when it failed to reach it's objectives, the CPVF (Chinese People's Volunteer Forces) suffered a loss of 85,000 men. The CPVF 180th Divsion was completely eliminated totaling 7,644 men and officers. Additionally, 17,000 Chinese prisoners were taken by U.N. forces. Now after this campaign, the Chinese did not quit, 'redeploy' back to China, they just made "tactical and stragetic changes to limit causalties".
Yes, I wrote that figure correct, Eighty Five Thousand men were killed in two months. We have lost over 3800 soldiers since the war started in 2003. I do not take one life of any of our Military men and women lightly at all, but comparatively, our politicans are crying for retreat and surrender, our media darlings of Hollywood, mainstream media all scream it's a disaster. The Chinese lost 85,000 in two months and just adjusted tactics. We're at each others throats for our losses in a war for our own survival as a Nation, people, and way of life.
If China would be smart and bold, they would land a million troops on the West Coast and inside of three months, guarantee the surrender of the United States. Sure, they would lose a couple hundred thousand troops in the process, but once we lost a hundred thousand, Hillary and the Dem's will be handing Beijing the keys to 1600 Penn. and all our military secrets and the leftist liberal cowards would be waving red flags for the Chinese troops as they rolled into every town.
Modern 2007 Americans do not have what it takes to win a real war. The small minority that 'volunteers' to put on the uniform of the United States definitely have what it takes to fight and win, but the civilian population in general....they know what Britney Spears did today.
