The Last Bit For Veteran's Day

Just finished part of another documentary that invovled the Korean War, this time with an emphasis on Gerneral MacArthur from PBS

The PBS show "American Experience" produced a two part episode on MacArthur  in 1999; Part 2 deals with the Japanese reconstruction and his role in basically screwing the pooch in the Korean War.  It is a fascinating look at the later life of a complete megalomaniac and sometimes brilliant military man.  As a result of the way that the "Korean Conflict" was prosecuted by MacArthur, American military presence has not diminished in the region and tension between North and South as a hot as ever, with the North actually committing military acts of aggression toward the South in recent years; the most serious of which resulted in the deliberate sinking of a South Korean Naval vessel, with all hands lost.  With that in mind, my last selection for the day is a modern South Korean military film entitled Han anseon, which translates into Coast Guard in English.
