re: And yet, how many Koreans died fighting each other in the Korean War? Until the two superpowers came, North and South Korea were a lot closer than the North and the South before the American Civil War.

Did you ever see the statistic on how few actually shot their guns, in combat, in WWII? I'm working from memory, but I think it was under 30%. After that the armed services changed their training to completely depersonalize the enemy, and it's been effective. I thin I remember it's only like 10% that don't fire. I'll see if I can find the article later.

re: Of course, I'm sure the South could have just sympathized with their brothers in the North, laid down their arms, and let Kim Il Sung dictate their future. Then no American would have lost his life in Korea, and you wouldn't have to deal with the musings of this Korean-American who's "so caught up in class that he'd abuse or neglect his fellow citizens."

Seems you are trying to change the subject. Your point?
