***At the beginning of my forthcoming book on
war hero Ricardo Carrasco entitled FORGOTTEN
WARRIOR: Twice In One Day,
I have a preface break-down of what led America into the Korean War, the Cold
War and the importance to this day of our continued presence in and support of
the Republic of Korea. At the request of
many who have graciously read the first chapters of my rough draft, I am
publishing in parts this vital information in exclusively for readers of
Politichicks.TV. Given the daily
appearance of North Korean aggression 60 years after the cease fire, causing
the ongoing Korean War to be front page news again, this information is vital
to anyone wanting to know how we got here and why it is important that we
permanently eschew the nation-killing idea of "limited war.***
Excerpt: But here
is where frustration over this war took its first tentative root. America and its allies had the North Koreans
on the run back across the 38th and beyond. So appeared the dilemma: should we continue to push communism
completely out of the country or stop at the 38th where it
began? The US couldn’t pass up the
opportunity to unite Korea as one nation under the Republic, since the division
had only been meant to be temporary while repairing the world after WWII. This would also be a prime opportunity to
send a clear message to the Soviets about the limits to what we, and supposedly
the UN, would tolerate. We had just
finished castrating one TOTALitarian DICtator because we hadn’t nipped it in
the bud before the world was set ablaze.
MacArthur understood the math of history, its patterns, and wasn’t about
to repeat the same mistake less than a decade after the hard end of that
horrific war.
Excerpt: We have
lost such men due to the emasculation that our embrace of Political Castration
(never call it “correct,” for that is
calling wrong right and evil good) has caused.
I am sorry for this, have rejected it, and have taught my sons and all
who would listen to do the same. We fear
words now, and energy expended raging over what words we can and can’t use—in a
nation of free speech, no less!—sucks our vigor and leaves us utterly wasted
and impotent by the time actions are called for. We are now an easily-conquered people; the
mere fear of being accused of being racist, sexist, or some random “phobe” is
all it takes to stop us from standing for truth. This must not be in a land of
Constitutionally-founded free speech; either words are free with the applicable
responsibility or they aren’t. We must
not accept the confusion and unavoidable destruction that the policing of
words, which leads to the mentally ill and inexorable idea that we can control
thoughts, has wrought on every society in history that has accepted this curse
that begins with the control of actions, then words, and always at last,
thoughts. ‘Tis the mathematical pattern
of history, and we are not above the
laws of math. And this pattern has
proven, again and again, that the difference between a free people and slaves
is free will. The minute we seek to
control any God-given right we are in the territory of evil.
