Making matters worse, Ku-Nam is fired from his job and debt collectors take most of his severance pay.

38th Parallel - Korea War battle - Longyuan Hill Defense [Eng Sub] 龙缘峰守卫战

19 April 2017

This clip is the sequel to "Taking of Longyuan Hill". It is an excerpt from "38th Parallel", a Chinese war drama in 2016. It re-enacts one of the bloodiest battles during the first few months after the Chinese military entered Korea War. It's an excerpt from the 2016 Chinese war drama, "38th Parallel".

The 1st company has infiltrated and seized the strategic location of Longyuan hill. From there, they could block the escape route of UN forces fleeing south from North Korean territory. This would effectively help the main forces of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army to eliminate UN troops. Eager to survive,

UN and South Korean forces launched desperate attacks against the Chinese hill defenders. The clash will be deadly. This segment is based on the Battle of the Ch'ongch'on River that enabled Chinese forces to completely expel UN troops from North Korea: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_...


Hill 235, where the 1st Battalion, the  Gloucestershire Regiment  (the Glorious Glosters) was ordered to "Hold on where you are", is remembered as "Gloster Hill". The hill is south of the  Imjin River  and west of the  Seolmacheon  stream at  37.9472°N 126.9339°E  in Jeokseong-myeon,  Paju  City,  Gyeonggi-do  Province,  South Korea .

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloucester_Hill_Battle_Monument -

In 1955 I was stationed in Korea our camp in Gloucestershire Valley looking onto Hill 235. Initially I was a teleprinter keyboard and wireless operator after my training at Catterick (after taking a young officers course) in the Royal Signals. After being cleared to top secret I became the Divisional Communications Officer's clerk

#NorthKorea #Russia #Ukraine - North Korean forces suffering 'mass casualties' on Russian frontlines with Ukraine | DW News

28 December 2024

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says several wounded North Korean soldiers captured by Ukraine while fighting in Russia have died. He accused Russia of throwing them into battle with quote "minimal protection". Pyongyang has sent an estimated 11,000 troops to support the Russian armed forces. North Koreans are reportedly being deployed in the Kursk region - the Russian territory captured by Ukraine over the summer. US officials say North Korean forces are suffering "mass casualties" there on the front lines, with around a thousand soldiers killed or wounded this past week alone. Here's Volodymyr Zelenskyy speaking about the North Korean soldiers captured by Ukraine: ''The Russians send them into assaults with minimal protection. Today, there were reports about several soldiers from North Korea. Our soldiers managed to capture them, but they were very seriously wounded and could not be revived. This is one of the manifestations of the madness that dictatorships are capable of. The Korean people should not lose their people in battles in Europe. And this can be influenced by Korea's neighbors, particularly China. If China is sincere in its statements that the war should not expand, appropriate influence on Pyongyang is needed.''

#PeteHegseth #Ukraine #Russia - ‘Catastrophic mistakes’: Hegseth slammed for telling Ukraine to give up territory: MSNBC

12 February 2025

American teacher Marc Fogel, who was detained in Russia for nearly four years, returned to the U.S. yesterday and visited President Trump at the White House.

NBC News chief White House correspondent Peter Alexander reports more on how this came about and former Amb. Michael McFaul, who is a friend of Fogel, joins Ana Cabrera to react to the release and Defense Secretary Hegseth's comments on Russia's war in Ukraine.

#PeteHegseth #Ukraine #Russia

Feb 5, 2025 — Hegseth wrote that he's enforcing an executive order issued by President Trump instructing military academy leaders to eliminate DEI initiatives ...

Dec 18, 2024 — West Point has not yet contacted Pete Hegseth after the school said an employee mistakenly said he had not applied and was not accepted, ...

Why did Hegseth take the matter up with West Point when he did not hear from them?


My experience

In Korea I served as Divisional Communications Offer´s clerk cleared to top secret (1955)

When I first arrived in Korea having been selected for a short service commission; initially applying for this and then training others I did a trade in the Royal Signals - "keyboard and wireless"

My commanding officer noting that I had been put forward for a short service commission suggested that I applied for a Regular Commission a 2 year course at the RMA Sandhurst. I was selected to the initial board at Westbury (Wiltshire England). Not everyone passed this board. I did and entered the later in 1956 (Intake 21 Dettingen Company). It was a 2 year course and not everyone graduated. I did in 1958.

We could not apply for a post at the The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, commonly known simply as Sandhurst, is one of several military academies of the United Kingdom and is the British Army's initial officer training centre. It is located in the town of Sandhurst, Berkshire, though its ceremonial entrance is in Camberley, Surrey, southwest of London. Wikipedia

But were selected to take and exam to enter it rather than applying for a post in it as appears is the case in respect to West Point.
