Up until now, all I have read on this article is extremely boring, and seems to be written by writers that lack education. You’ve done a very good job conveying your passion with accurate information.

[...] No Gun-ri Misreporting Continues — [GI Korea] …I find it also interesting that Yonhap reports “US soldiers shot dead hundreds of Korean refugees” and then in the very next paragraph says that the Korean government only concluded 150 people were killed. I may be a product of the US public education system, but in my book 150 does not equal “hundreds”. But really who cares when you are into myth making? You might as well say “thousands” were killed at No Gun-ri because that statement is just as true as saying “hundreds”. There is a whole lot of evidence that shows 150 people did not die under the Bridge at No Gun-ri. The lowest estimates are in the 20s, I tend to think about 50 maximum. [...]

The Nogunri issue as preached in Korean society is bad enough.

What gets me — what pushes it to the point of being unbearable is — the cooresponding effort by Korean society to recooperate North Korea's image in the society.

Look at the string of popular movies over the past sevearl years (5-10 years perhaps) that have gone out of their way to distance hate from being attached to North Korea. Some combine anti-Americanism with a favorable to neutral portrayal of NK while others hit on the theme of NK and North Koreans being just more Koreans.

There couldn't have possibly been a massacre.

Now if only I had been there with a platoon of quad-.50's, that would have been a massacre….

Yes, the No Gun-ri movie; I can't wait to see that thing. I wonder if it will be considered a documentary or fiction when released?

SBS or one of the 3 main networks did a TV "documentary" of it I heard about by 2002, I believe. But, I don't think it ever aired. I caught articles saying it was about to be released – 2 articles coming far apart – but both times it seems better minds prevailed.

At least one of the articles had some detailed items about it – including interviews with Russians living in Korea who got the acting role of playing US soldiers. They said that there was a lot of them running around with fixed bayonets charging at women and children and shooting. They said it was both hillarious but disturbing to shoot the scenes at the same time —- meaning it was gruesome depiction but so over the top – it was laughable like you get when you watch NK propaganda on You Tube…

The media will not correct themselves because it then effects their creditability. So they will deny, cover up, and then attack anyone that challenges them. What the AP did to Bateman is a perfect example of this and yet where is the rest of the media jumping to defend Bateman's right to free speech which the AP wanted to deny? The rest of the media were silent.

It was really amazing that US News and the Stars and Stripes exposed the fraudulent witnesses to begin with. But the major media did very little to challenge the AP after the exposing and those reporters still have their Pulizer Prize for false reporting. The media to this day continues to promote the mythology of No Gun-ri.
