Review of Jangsa-ri 9.15

The first thing I noticed was the sharp high quality filming and good subtitles. Then, drawn into the story, the shock of seeing the Americans/Koreans seining foreword a suicide unit of 773 x 17 year olds into certain death against the North Korean 5th army regulars. The biggest shock apart form the waste was seeing the American govt try to cover up the story as secret intelligence, and the totally evil General officers of South Korea put the blame on the heroic colonel leading the attack, sentencing him to death for losing so many men. With publicity by US female war reporters this was rescinded and after many years he got recognition for his troops. As with the Siege of Jadotville, the men fight and the political seniors blame them. Very good film.
