N. Korea to Put Captured USS Pueblo on Display

[Sunni Man]

If there was ever any doubt about what happened to the only U.S. Navy ship that is being held by a foreign government, North Korea has cleared it up. It's in Pyongyang. And it looks like it's here to stay.

With a fresh coat of paint and a new home along the Pothong River, the USS Pueblo, a spy ship seized off North Korea's east coast in the late 1960s, is expected to be unveiled this week as the centerpiece of a renovated war museum to commemorate what North Korea calls "Victory Day," the 60th anniversary this Saturday of the signing of the armistice that ended the fighting in the Korean War.

The ship is North Korea's greatest Cold War prize. The government hopes the Pueblo will be a potent symbol of how the country has stood up to the great power of the United States, once in an all-out ground war and now with its push to develop the nuclear weapons and sophisticated missiles it needs to threaten the U.S. mainland.

Many of the crew who served on the vessel, then spent 11 months in captivity in North Korea, want to bring the Pueblo home. Throughout its history, they argue, the Navy's motto has been "don't give up the ship." The Pueblo, in fact, is still listed as a commissioned U.S. Navy vessel.

Truman, like LBJ, was too cowardly to invade North Korea because of his fear of Communist China. It wouldn't have taken too much effort to bomb the tiny country of the North into a wasteland. Our navy could have easily sunk any allied communist ship breaking a blockade.

Truman and his handful of UN nations fought the Korean War with one hand tied behind their backs...and lost.

Maybe we should send Dennis Rodman to talk to his little buddy Kim Jong-un about getting our ship back. ..

Truman was too cowardly to face his own egotistical General. The war in Korea was won when the SK capital was retaken and US/UN forces captured Pyongyang and annihilated the NK military. It was a possibly demented MacArthur who decided to "piss in the Yalu" even though China wasn't yet in the conflict but threatened to enter it if the US came close to the China/NK border. MacArthur disregarded the warnings and the little bean counter president was too cowardly to confront MacArthur. As a result Mac directed the US into the biggest ambush in history and turned victory into an ugly truce at the cost of 55,000 Americans. Neither Truman nor MacArthur were ever criticized by the fawning stupid media at the time.

Truman relieves MacArthur of duties in Korea
In perhaps the most famous civilian-military confrontation in the history of the United States, President Harry S. Truman relieves General Douglas MacArthur of command of the U.S. forces in Korea. The firing of MacArthur set off a brief uproar among the American public, but Truman remained committed to keeping the conflict in Korea a "limited war."

Truman relieved MacArthur after he swallowed his pride when MacArthur insulted him during meetings at Wake Is. and the damage was done and the Troops were in a desperate situation that both Truman and MacArthur created. When the clearly egocentric and possibly insane general began making wild threats about using nuclear weapons on China it became an international incident and the little timid bean counter finally got up the courage to do something. The left wing media was caught in a bind between a popular general and a democrat president so they called it "the forgotten war".

Hey, Dennis Rodman has been far more diplomatic than our government has. How productive he is in these talks is debatable, but he's at least there. I can respect him for that.

the fear was bringing in the Russians. Abomb and all

The Soviet Union was a major supplier for war material to North Korea. Between 1945 ane 1948, Soviet troops were stationed on the front lines. I know this because my dad was there. If the Soveits wanted to fight with ground forces, they would have already done so.

As American and UN soldiers were deployed in the conflict on the South Korean side, a Soviet declaration of war on the South would have led to a war with other UN countries. Instead, the Soviet Union was forced to hide its participation in the conflict so as not to risk escalating the "Cold War" into a "Hot War" with NATO and the United States elsewhere, which could have led to a nuclear war. By officially denying its participation, the Korean War was not allowed to escalate. Participation on the North Korean side was also contrary to the UN Security Council Resolution 84 which the Soviet Union was technically bound by

All this stuff about the Soviet advisers and the Red Chinese infantry would never have happened if Truman monitored the conflict that he created with a presidential order. The Inchon landing cut the NK supply lines and the mission was completed when the US/UN captured the NK capital of Pyongyang. SK was freed from the invaders and the UN should have drawn a line from Pyongyang to Wonson Harbor and called it a victory and they would have if it wasn't for a cowardly inept president and a possibly mentally impaired egocentric general.
