We here at I Call BS! have tried to see them as ‘poor, misunderstood people’… for a long time, too! (In my case, since 1962)

But it was necessary, in order to maintain intellectual integrity and SOME semblance of contact with objective reality, to acknowledge the measure of our enemy:
Coalition Troops Discover Bodies and Bombs!

When asked what the difference between Chinese Communist troops (or their comrades, North Korean troops) and UN forces in the Korean War (including Australian, South Korean, Thai, Turkish and American troops) my father, who served in Korea from 1952 to 1953, shook his head silently and walked away, later coming back and wordlessly handing me a black & white photograph…

…of Korean civilians, hundreds of them, with their hands tied behind their backs and lying face down in the mud, each with a bullet in the back of the head!

The difference was clear: Communists DID this (as do Islamo-fascists) and Free-World troops DON’T!
