82. Reaction Formation
A psychological application of Freud's theory about Reaction Formation to the plight of american POWs during the korean war
http://www.koolpages.com/almalaika/repb.html
Psychoanalysis
And Culture
It is often assumed that psychiatry is the school of thought which focuses on the individual, that its main concern is , moreover, the various forms of mental illness which some individuals suffer from. This is not true. Freud wrote a book entirely devoted to Group psychology, and there are various studies which relied on the insights of psychiatry to explain such cultural phenomena as Literature, the Cinema, and diverse cultural phenomena. Politicians today rely on the insights of psychologists to comprehend the motives for world leaders acting as they do. Freud Defense Mechanisms: It is well known that Sigmund Freud based his analytic system on interaction with his patients. During the exchange, he discovered that patients resist telling him the truth about certain experiences from their past. He thought that this is intentional, at first, and then he came to discover that, sometimes, patients just forget, or deny, or repress, the truth, because it is difficult to deal with.. The anxiety level of the subject rises considerably when reminded of such experiences, some of which being traumatic and frightening. Therefore, the defenses are methods of concealing, either from the psychiatrist, or from the self, at least some of these experiences which could well be partial causes of the illness the patient suffers from.. It is therefore important to stress that these defense mechanisms are rhetorical.. They express the self in language.. as the subject wishes to present him/herself to the world.

Korean War US POW's in Soviet Jails
By JAMES BROOKE
July 19, 1996, The New York Times Khabarovsk, Russia Time has stooped Vladimir Trotsenko's shoulders, but his memories are as clear as his cobalt blue eyes: the American flyer, his right arm in a new cast, in a Soviet military hospital ward. The American, he recalled, would slowly re peat, "America San Francisco, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Chicago." Curious, Trotsenko, a paratrooper recovering from a knee injury, would hobble down the third-floor hospital corridor to gaze at the four imprisoned Americans. The airman with the broken arm would point to a crewman in a body cast and would make cradling m otions with his arms, indicating that the man had left two small children back home. The year was 1951, and the place was Military Hospital 404 in Novosysoyevka, 300 miles south of here. Stalin was in his last years, the Korean War was raging, and the Cold War with the United States was on. "I did not talk about this for 43 years," Trotsenko, spry at 68, said as his wife, Nina, served blini and borscht at their wooden dacha outside this city, the largest industrial center of Russia's Far East. In 1994, he noticed a small advertisement in a local newspaper placed by a new group, a Russian-American commission on prisoners of war. Admitting that he was "tortured" about whether "to call or not to call," he finally did.

Modern History Sourcebook:
Andrei A. Gromyko:
On American Intervention In Korea, 1950
Statement by the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the USSR, July 4,1950 The events now taking place in Korea broke out on June 25 as the result of a provocative attack by the troops of the South Korean authorities on the frontier areas of the Korean People's Democratic Republic. This attack was the outcome of a premeditated plan. From time to time Syngman Rhee himself and other representatives of the South Korean authorities had blurted out the fact that the South Korean Syngman Rhee clique had such a plan. As long ago as October 7, 1949, Syngman Rhee, boasting of success in training his army, stated outright, in an interview given to an American United Press correspondent, that the South Korean Army could capture Pyongyang in the course of three days. On October 31, 1949, Sin Sen Mo, Defence Minister of the Syngman Rhee Government, also told newspaper correspondents that the South Korean troops were strong enough to act and take Pyongyang within a few days. Only one week before the provocative attack of the South Korean troops on the frontier areas of the Korean People's Democratic Republic, Syngman Rhee said, in a speech on June 19 in the so-called "National Assembly" where Mr. Dulles, adviser to the U.S. State Department, was present: "If we cannot protect democracy in the cold war, we shall win in a hot war."

88. Highlights Of Mobilization, Korean War
A U.S. Army study of plans for mobilizing and transporting american troops and equipment to Korea as well as the mobilization of american industry to military production.
http://www.army.mil/cmh-pg/documents/KOREA/kwmob.htm
[2-3.7 AF.C] HIGHLIGHTS OF MOBILIZATION, KOREAN WAR Office of the Chief of Military History Department of the Army Dr. Robert W. Coakley 10 March 1959 [Note: This manuscript was prepared by Dr. Robert W. Coakley of the Office of the Chief of Military History (now US Army Center of Military History) for official. The original is on file in the Historical Manuscripts Collection (HMC) under file number 2-3.7 AF.C, which should be cited in footnotes, along with the title. It is reproduced here with only those limited modifications required to adapt to the World Wide Web; spelling, punctuation, and slang usage have not been altered from the original. Where modern explanatory notes were required, they have been inserted as italicized text in square brackets.] RESUME OF ARMY MOBILIZATION DURING THE KOREAN WAR 1. Existing mobilization plans at the beginning of the Korean War, both for personnel, and materiel, were all framed in terms of all-out war. The Department of Defense had no plans for limited war. Thus, the entire mobilization process was one of improvisation. The limited mobilization undertaken had to be aimed both at providing and equipping the necessary forces for fighting a limited war in Korea and at placing the United States in a posture to meet Communist threats on a world-wide basis. 3. Total strength of the organized reserve corps on 30 June 1950 consisted of 217,435 officers and 291,182 enlisted men. Of these, 68,785 officers and 117,756 enlisted men were participating in paid drills in 10,629 activated units. National Guard strength was 324,761, about 25,000 below authorized levels. The National Guard had 27 organized divisions plus supporting units but its equipment was only 46 per cent of requirements. Training was hampered by lack of funds and facilities. The principal strength of both organized reserves and National Guard lay in the fact that much of their personnel had seen combat service during World War II.

    of our fellow countrymen and women. Anyone possessing information about a Korean War Friendly Fire
    incident is invited to place those details into this Notebook
    or link to it. INCIDENTS 151ENGR C Bn Sometime in May of 1953, I was stationed about 30 miles north of Uijonbu with the 151ENGR C Bn. We were falling out for revilee, the first time since being in Korea. While I was going out to formation I heard a loud explosion just over the hill, just in a second our jets come over the hill and started strafing us. They made four passes over us with four F84 aircraft, destroyed our motor pool, killed several KSC labors, and one GI lost the lower part of his arm, I still have his name. The loud explosion I heard at first was them dropping a bomb on the Imjin River knocking one section out. Contact: John Lock 2ID 38 TANK CO After being WIA, I spent five weeks in the hospital. I returned to my unite, the 38th. Tank Company of the 2nd. ID. I was given a light duty of job (mail clerk). My outfit had relieved the British front line troops, and sometime in January of 1953, while going for the mail at APO 248. The driver and myself witnessed a Marine jet bomb an American unit, which was several miles from the front line. We were less than a fourth of a mile away when the bombing occured, and the best I can remember, nine men were killed and many more wounded. I never did find out why the Marine plane would bomb an American unite so far from the front line. I didn't know any of those men, but it bothered me, that men had to die by the hands of their own countrymen. I wonder if any of the reader of this site, remember any thing about that incident. I have often wondered just what the goverment told the parents, about the way their sons had died in Korea?

I was sitting in the turret of an armored Amphib. About 2300 I saw the faint outline of whatappeared to be a Marine walking along the beach. There was no moon and the only light wasfrom a fire burning about one hundred yards away. Japanese soldiers had a habit of wearing U.S. Marine helmets and carrying M1's when they could find them. In the dark they were hard to identify by a silhouette. When the guy got within 50 feet, I asked the usual "Who goes there?". The answer came back in perfect English, "ITS ME, GI JOE. A MARINE LIKE YOU." So I aimed about 8 inches below the outline of his helmet and shot. The next morning there was one dead Japanese officer in the sand. I never heard of a Marine calling himself G I Joe. I don't think I ever will.

Rethinking the Korean War:
A New Diplomatic and Strategic History
William Stueck
Shopping Cart Reviews Table of Contents
Introduction [HTML] or [PDF format] Fought on what to Westerners was a remote peninsula in northeast Asia, the Korean War was a defining moment of the Cold War. It militarized a conflict that previously had been largely political and economic. And it solidified a series of divisionsof Korea into North and South, of Germany and Europe into East and West, and of China into the mainland and Taiwanwhich were to persist for at least two generations. Two of these divisions continue to the present, marking two of the most dangerous political hotspots in the post-Cold War world. The Korean War grew out of the Cold War, it exacerbated the Cold War, and its impact transcended the Cold War. William Stueck presents a fresh analysis of the Korean War's major diplomatic and strategic issues. Drawing on a cache of newly available information from archives in the United States, China, and the former Soviet Union, he provides an interpretive synthesis for scholars and general readers alike. Beginning with the decision to divide Korea in 1945, he analyzes first the origins and then the course of the conflict. He takes into account the balance between the international and internal factors that led to the war and examines the difficulty in containing and eventually ending the fighting. This discussion covers the progression toward Chinese intervention as well as factors that both prolonged the war and prevented it from expanding beyond Korea. Stueck goes on to address the impact of the war on Korean-American relations and evaluates the performance and durability of an American political culture confronting a challenge from authoritarianism abroad.

. What did Mao say about US after the Korean war?
"American imperialists are very arrogant, they are very unreasonable whenever they can get away with it, if they became a little bit reasonable, it was because they had no other choice."
. Did US consider the use the A-Bomb in Korea?
US generals actively considered the use of Atomic Bombs from the very beginning, even before China intervened. US presidents considered the use of the A-Bombs after PVA entered. From Blair] On June 1950, Eisenhower met with Collins, Haislip, Ridgway, Ike suggested use of two atomic bombs in the Korea area. In July 1950, MacArthur suggested plan to use atomic bombs to 'isolate the battle fields". [From Hastings] On November 30 1950, President Truman said in a press conference: "There had always been active consideration of its[Atomic Bomb's] use...". On December 24 1950, MacArthur submitted a list of 'retaliation targets' in China and North Korea, requiring 26 atomic bombs. In January 1953, US tested its first tactical nuclear weapon, and the JCS considered its use "against military targets affecting operations in Korea."

But for the 1.5 million U.S. men and women who served there and the families and friends of those who did not return, the Korean War could never be the Forgotten War. The end of the Cold War has brought renewed interest in the conflict that helped determine its course and has generated a new appreciation for the contribution of those who left home and homeland to aid in the struggle against aggression. The Korean War Veterans Memorial honors the men and women who served in Korea, for their struggles and sacrifices under trying circumstances in service to their country and the cause of freedom.

Published by Brasseys, Inc. (May 2000)
ISBN 1574882597
Price $29.95
Customer Reviews I read THIS KIND OF WAR almost 20 years ago. It stays with me as one of the best and most important books I've ever read.Fehrenbach was, as another reader-reviewer says, too close to the story to write with the objectivity he later displayed in his excellent histories of Texas, Mexico, and the Comanches. But that kind of detachment will show up in other histories by different authors. What Fehrenbach gives us is the view of someone whom was there, and whom witnessed it all from the inside confusion, complacency, cowardice, stupidity, valor.I'm very glad that this book is so popular in the Army and Air Force. I hope it continues to be read, and learned from. I just wish it were a standard high school textbook, both to let our youth know why we should stay out of war when we can, and what we MUST do when we are in one.Not a perfect book, but a necessary one for those whom would understand the nature and requirements of war. This is without a doubt the best single-volume history of the Korean War. Fehrenbach did a great job. He not only had the foresight to include an informative glossary of weapons but also a final chapter on "lessons learned." It's too bad our nation's enlightened policy makers haven't learned from the mistakes of their predecessors. As for the question of "typos", I've an older copy so I can't honestly comment on the the newer editions. All things considered, it's a peerless and important work.

    Many Korean War veterans fell that their efforts in defense of liberty and democracy have nearly been forgotten in the four decades since that Sunday afternoon when war enveloped "The Land of the Morning Calm". The Korean Conflict cost 54,246 lives in 37 months and 2 days, and 8,177 are still listed as MIA's. Because a peace treaty has never been signed, only a cease fire, the war continues to this day the longest war in America's history.
