Perhaps this? “What hardly any Americans know or remember,” University of Chicago historian Bruce Cumings writes in his book “The Korean War: A History,” “is that we carpet-bombed the north for three years with next to no concern for civilian casualties.” How many Americans know that “over a period of three years or so,” to quote Air Force Gen.

For a point of comparison, the Nazis exterminated 20 percent of Poland’s pre-World War II population. According to LeMay, “We went over there and fought the war and eventually burned down every town in North Korea.” Every. Town. More than 3 million civilians are believed to have been killed in the fighting, the vast majority of them in the north. https://theintercept.com/2017/05/03/why-do-north-koreans-hate-us-one-reason-they-remember-the-korean-war/ https://theintercept.com/2017/05/03/why-do-north-koreans-hat...
