Five short years after the last shots of world war ii had been fired, the United States army had been reduced to an active force of 600,000. A great number of these were scattered about the world on occupation duty. But the armed forces of the communists, soviet russia and red china, remained on a strong wartime footing and in belligerent posture. Aggression was soon to come. Americans would be fighting against tyranny for the third time in 32 years. Korea, a crowded Little Finger of land, but of key importance to the free world in the far east. What happened here opened the next major chapter in the history of the United States army. The war began here, at the 38th parallel. Just how did this imaginary line become the fuse for a threeyear explosion . Before the japanese surrender in world war ii, we made an agreement with the russians who were then our allies. When surrender came on the asian mainland, Russian Troops would accept the surrender of Japanese Forces north of the 38th para
To face in person, so thank you for tuning in and obviously doubledip honored that youve agreed to speak with me tonight about the book ron kovic. Right. Not kovac. We were introduced by tom come sport media writer years ago. Ron has been very encouraging and helped quite a bit with this book in terms of background and research and so forth. Ron of course was a vietnam veteran. Most of the book that i wrote is about world war ii veterans and a just want to give you a little background before we start speaking. Before world war ii if you were paralyzed you were pretty much a dead ender, a no hope for as they were called. If the average lifespan was a team is for someone wounded in world war i. World war ii was a game changer. The advent of penicillin, sulfur drugs. They had surgical units right behind the battlefield come right behind the front lines and they had better evacuation back to the mainland so by the end of world war ii you had a cohort of about 2500 u. S. Veterans were paral
Occupation duty. But the armed forces of the communists, soviet russia and red china remained on a strong wartime footing and in belligerent posture. Aggression was soon to come. Americans would be fighting against tyranny for the third time in 32 years. Korea. A crowded Little Finger of land but of key importance to the free world in the far east. What happened here opened the next major chapter in the history of the United States army. The war began here at the 38th parallel. Just how did this imaginary line become the fuse for a threeyear explosion . Before the japanese surrender in world war ii, we made an agreement with the russians who were then our allies. When surrender came on the asian mainland, Russian Troops would accept the surrender of Japanese Forces north of the 38th parallel, and we would do the same south of it. The 38th parallel was chosen because it divides the Korean Peninsula roughly in half. It was also agreed that free elections would be held, and the government
His immoderate plan calls for 11 trillion in spending. Do you have 11 trillion . Because i do not have 11 trillion i have to do not have any patients for socialistic restructuring because as i have made plain on many occasions, i prefer the federal government leave me the hell alone. Georgia is a lovely state and i have never had a bad time there. Even when i watch John Stewarts 9inch nails like their forests in atlanta van. And he took me to it a strip club with beefy women dancers. This race could end up far more tragically than that nights. And again, we cannot let that happen. So that is why in this exhausting and interminable election cycle every 2024 republican president ial hope for is going to try and help david perdue and Kelly Loeffler over the initial line. The only person that can really move the needle is President Trump. If he does in fact hold a few nothing to lose rallies that will be a sure sign he plans to run in 2024. I do not care that pitch carol baskin pains for t
