[The Forgotten War @ForgottenWarPic]

They told the starving prisoners they were finally being taken off the train to be fed. Instead, forty at a time, they were marched into ravines beside a railway tunnel and machine gunned.

By the fall of 1950, as UN forces drove north into North Korea, the North Koreans were moving their American prisoners of war deeper and deeper into the country to keep them from being liberated. One group of around a hundred and eighty Americans had already survived a brutal forced march, and now they were crammed into open railway cars and hauled north toward a place called Sunchon.

The train journey alone was a horror. It took four or five days. The men were packed into unprotected railcars in the cold, and they were given no food, no water, and no medical care. Some of them simply died along the way, in the cars, from exposure and starvation and untreated wounds.

When the surviving prisoners finally reached the tunnel near Sunchon on October 20, 1950, the North Korean guards told them good news. They were going to be taken off the train and given their first real meal in days. Weak, freezing, desperate, the men were unloaded in groups of about forty and led away from the tracks toward nearby ravines, believing food was waiting.

There was no food. In the ravines, North Korean soldiers opened fire on the unarmed prisoners with submachine guns, group after group, cutting them down as they stood.

Sixty eight American prisoners of war were murdered there. Only a small number survived, some by being shielded by the bodies of the men who fell on top of them, lying still and playing dead among the corpses until the guards left, then crawling out. When a joint South Korean and American rescue force reached the area, they found roughly twenty one survivors alive among the dead.

The Sunchon tunnel massacre sits alongside Hill 303 and Bloody Gulch as one of the deliberate murders of helpless American prisoners in that war. Men who had already survived captivity, starvation, and a death march, killed in cold blood beside a train tunnel after being promised a meal. The survivors carried it for the rest of their lives, and told the story so the sixty eight would not be forgotten.

As a Retired US Army paratrooper, pictures like these hit hard. Trump never had the courage to pick up a rifle and man a post when he was called to serve.

Yet he has the nerve to promote AI pictures like this showing him wearing things like Parachutist badges, and rows of ribbons he never had to courage to obtain. Anyone who has ever served should be pissed at garbage like this.

His father paid a doctor’s note so he wouldn't have to serve. But remember that for every one of the draft deferments, someone else had to go in his place.

A pure disgrace.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did

@JonnyRoot_ @NaturalDorian Relax Jon. Thanks for pointing out the discrepancies but it's still an opportunity for viewers to spend time reflecting on Christ. We all agree that's a good thing.

@KenPaxtonTX @JoeBiden Why do you oppose providing an pathway to citizenship for immigrants brought here as children? Would Christ kick them out? Why are acting this way? I know you’re a Christian, stop it now!

[Scott Anderson @Anderson0425]

@tedcruz While you’re at it, pray for forgiveness.

[Scott Anderson @Anderson0425]

@jimcramer I’m so sorry. All my best to you and your family.

@cspan @RandPaul Rand Paul- the fact that the Chief Justice refused to read your question should have offerd a glimpse at the inane thought process that you hold. You’re an embarrassment and I will support any and all Republican opponents to your seat.

@ISRA Our right to bear arms was granted to ensure that our right to free speech is protected, not to deter it! Frightening school children to deter a peaceful gathering is an act of cowards.

[Scott Anderson @Anderson0425]

@ISRA Are you encouraging members to disrupt a gathering of high school children tomorrow at a library in Naperville because they are discussing gun safety and gun violence? Please tell me you’re not doing this!

[Lawrence O'Donnell @Lawrence]

Warning: retweeting this will guarantee that @realDonaldTrump sees it and it’ll hurt his feelings.

American blood was shed to save the world from the monsters these creeps admire--whom we can be proud did not spring from American soil. https://t.co/zrCYMhFp6y
