Re: Chosin Few

Isn't this the same thing as the Sons of Confederate Veterans in the Southern United States arguing that
Bullrun 1 and 2 should be knows as First and Second Manassas (which the South won twice). 
 
Err... except in this case there are South Koreans in the Chosin Few who apparently agree with the name.

Korean website explaining everything that's been said so far in English.
No one seems offended.
 
Here is an article in which the Korean times has a non-Korean writer who uses both.

The Korean Embassy doesn't edit Chosin for Changjin...
umm...

JHK - what are all your reasons why it needs to be changed to Changjin - and are you trying to convince us
or just get our reactions?   I just don't understand why you are trying to change peoples' minds on this issue.

Why would we even consider changing it? I think the suggestion was because it might offend some people, My answer to that is simply, if they get offended TOUGH S--T! That's the name we chose, that's the name we want. That's the name it will remain-live with it! Lee
