In Every War....

...it seems as though there is an organized mass murder of the "enemy", be he or she an actual soldier, someone suspected of being in league with the enemy or just someone who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. And in just about every case the perpetrators try to keep the murders quiet.

The latest incident, as reported by AP Impact, goes back more than 50 years, to the days of the Korean War. Apparently South Korea was worried about what the people in their prisons would do as the North Koreans got closer to Seoul. The problem was solved by killing all the prisoners. No one knows how many were killed but some have estimated 100,000 and more.

These killings were kept quiet by both the South Korean government and our government. Our Army reports of the killings were stamped 'secret' and filed away. In recent years these documents are being declassified and the truth has come to light.
