firstOrder, It was also a written policy of the communists to infiltrate rear of UN forces by mixing in with refugees. Maybe there were no communist soldiers in the particular group fired upon, but it's well known communists mixed in with fleeing refugees to get advantage on the battle field. 1980, what year was that? Yes, in the middle of the Cold War. Both sides on fingers to possibly launch hundreds of nukes. I'm sure the US held their nose as they 'supported' the newly emerging military dictator in SKorea. Simply, US had no choice. And guess what the testimony from 11 years isn't the only related story. It's even more relevant as there are lots more, depressing stories coming out of NKorea. http://www.npr.org/2012/03/29/149061951/escape-from-camp-14-inside-north-koreas-gulag http://www.npr.org/2012/03/29/149061951/escape-from-camp-14-...
