Korean War

["Gernilee Carter Gramling" <cartergramling@msn.com>]

I "caught" a piece on our Public TV channel last night about the Korean War.

   Several things: the narrator said that Gen MacArthur, did think that 
nuclear would be necessary to stop the aggression of the Chinese and 
Russians.  It was just sort of stuck in their while they did the piece on 
why he was relieved of his duties.

   The footage of the war was painful to watch, especially the weather 
conditions coupled with what was going on - and it showed the Chinese 
running around like rain drops.   Saw pictures of the our soliders leaving 
the Chosin Resvoir.   I try to picture it in my mind's eye while I read your 
emails, but that clearly was not working as I watched the footage last 
night.  Much worse that I was imigining.

   I missed the first half hour, so didn't see the beginning of the misery 
when my brother was killed after being there only six days.
          Great footage of MacArthur looking like he was directly from 
Central Casting and dressed by Edith Head -   Silk scarf and all - he sure 
looked good whatever he did  - he managed to make an appearance while doing 
it.  Ridgeway may have been good too, but he didn't look a dapper! as I am 
sure you all know.
