Pork Chop Hill

This is my first time embedding something from Youtube, so sorry if I messed anything up! :)

Veterans of the Korean War in general and of this battle in particular said this 1959 movie was very accurate in its depiction of fighting in Korea. My father said that to me when we watched this film years ago. He served in Company B, 32nd Infantry.

Lewis Milestone was an excellent director, too, and among his films was All Quiet On The Western Front, another grim combat movie that makes you wonder the why of it all. Imbed looks just fine.

Thank you! Glad it worked.

Yes, I recall that movie. Korea had a lot in common with WWI. After the first year of movement in 1950, the war settled into a sort of trench warfare with a no-man's land and every foot of ground paid for dearly. Many hills were taken and retaken multiple times while the peace talks in Panmunjom dragged on for two years. I can understand why Hawkeye snapped in an episode of M*A*S*H* and drove up there to chew everybody out!
