Wow! This is a heavy stuff.
If you grieve for the loss of your br other, blame it first on Truman who sent your brother to intervene in a strange, distant country's civil war, without any authorization from the Congress.(No declaration of war) And think of all those two or three million Korean civilians who lost their lives due to US bombing! They certainly would have much more resentment than you. And I might add that many Koreans also think of Americans as selfish, greedy, brutal Yangkee!
Better stop your racist rhetoric before it infects you!
