“People who use the term “Chicom” have long memories, anon, of tinny bugles in the frozen night, human wave attacks, bodies stacked like cord wood in front of our machine guns, insane insensitivity to casualties, American soldiers with their hands tied behind their backs and bullets in the back of their heads, of brain washing, Manchurian Candidates, and so much more.”

Google: “Chosin Reservoir”

The US got seriously mauled by the Chinese in the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir (one of the worst retreats in American history). The USMC consider it one of their proudest moments because they made an orderly retreat without leaving behind their dead and wounded.

China is enormously powerful and can be a dangerous adversary.
