The US genocided 20% of the Korean population. #GookLivesMatter
"We went over there and eventually burned down every town in North Korea, and some in South Korea, too. Over a period of three years or so, we killed off,
what, 20 percent of the population?” — Curtis LeMay “Strategic Air Warfare”
“The war in Korea has already almost destroyed that nation of 20 million people. I have never seen such devastation. After I looked at that wreckage and
those thousands of women and children … I vomited.” — MacArthur in 1951
The US dropped a total of 635,000 tons of bombs, including 32,557 tons of napalm, on Korea. By comparison, the U.S. dropped 160,000 on Japan during WW2.
Napalm was used most notably during the battle "Outpost Harry" in South Korea, 1953.
Winston Churchill, among others, criticized American use of napalm, calling it "very cruel", he said, were "splashing it all over the civilian population",
"tortur[ing] great masses of people". American official who took this statement declined to publicize it.
British journalist Reginald Thompson was shocked by the ignorance and racism of the American military, who referred to Koreans as “gooks” and Chinese soldiers
as “chinks” during Korean war.
J. Howard McGrath, referred to the Koreans as “rodents,” and thus had no regrets about the ongoing slaughter.
In 1951, war correspondent Tibor Meráy said that there were “no more cities in Korea.” He added, “My impression was that I am traveling on the moon because
there was only devastation—every city was only a collection of chimneys.”
In 1952 Curtis LeMay stated, “We have bombed every city twice, now we are going back to pulverize them into stones.”
An estimated 2.5 million Koreans died in the bombing, most of them civilians, many of them incinerated by napalm.
