My take on the matter is that Chosin is where Marines fought and died, and Chosen Few is the appropriate name of the veterans of Chosin. 


Lee, Sandy & Ben,
Thanks on your input on this topic!

Ben, did you fight at Changjin Reservoir?
I must respectfully disagree with your "take."
Continuing to use the Japanese name is an
insensitive thing to do since such word offends
Koreans. 

Of course, it would be a different matter if
the veterans of "Chosi Few"  want to say that they
did not fight the war for Koreans and do not
care about Koreans' feelings.
