The term "Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea" (항미원조) is a self-glorifying phrase used by China to describe the Korean War. This phrase, claiming to resist the United States and aid Korea, is a clumsy act of self-defense by China to evade its war crimes during the Korean War.

Due to the invasion by the Chinese People's Volunteer Army, we missed the opportunity for reunification and have endured over 80 years of pain from the division of our people and fratricidal strife. If you truly consider it, China is our blood enemy and the "Chinese barbarians."

The phrase "Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea" has begun to be uttered by Lee Jae-myung and the Democratic Party administration. Furthermore, to coincide with the month of National Security and Veterans' Affairs in June, a travel plan is being pushed for selected elementary, middle, and high school teachers to visit the "Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea Memorial Hall" in Dandong. This is to teach the Korean War as the "Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea War." This is the treasonous face of the Ministry of National Defense under the Lee Jae-myung government.

While this is comparable to the act of Gwangju City erecting a statue to commemorate the Chinese military musician Jeong Eul-seong, it is chilling because it is being done by the Ministry of National Defense, which commands 450,000 ROK soldiers and fought against the Chinese People's Volunteer Army. It should be seen as the act of a dog who follows the so-called "Chinese barbarians."

The Korean War was the first and last war in which the United Nations sent troops from 16 countries under the name of the UN Forces. Among those UN Forces were troops from Africa and South America. The troops from Africa fought 253 battles and recorded 253 victories. These were the Ethiopian forces.

At that time, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army was employing guerrilla tactics utilizing rugged mountainous terrain. Even the most advanced weaponry was useless against the close-quarters fighting of the Chinese forces. The Chinese forces would often put the UN Forces in crisis using surprise attacks as their main strategy. The army that annihilated the Chinese forces by engaging in bayonet charges and close combat was the Turkish army. That Turkish army saved our war orphans by collecting their salaries to build an orphanage.

Luxembourg sent 83 soldiers. However, 83 soldiers represented less than one-tenth of Luxembourg's regular army of 900. It is reported that two Korean War veterans from Luxembourg are still alive today.

While countless countries around the world were sending hospital ships and supplies to rescue us, China was sending a million troops, driving the young men serving in the UN Forces to their deaths. The more than 35,000 American casualties were mostly young men in their twenties. They sacrificed their lives, which could have been lived for another 50 years, for the freedom and democracy of this land.

General Van Fleet is an unforgettable general in human terms. General Van Fleet lost his only son in the Korean War. His son, a bomber pilot, did not return after a night bombing mission, and General Van Fleet ordered a suspension of the search. His reason was that he could not endanger other people's children to find his own son.

General Van Fleet was photographed carrying a war orphan on his back. "The General Carrying a War Orphan." On the brutal battlefield, General Van Fleet was a true soldier who taught us "what it means to be human" and a benefactor who defended the Republic of Korea to the end. Until his death, he dedicated all he had to the Republic of Korea on the Korean Peninsula, where his only son was buried.

There were a total of 142 sons of US generals who participated in the Korean War. Of these, 35 were killed or wounded. General Clark's son returned to the battlefield three times despite being wounded, and was eventually captured and repatriated to the United States. General Walker's son, who defended the Nakdong River front, was also present at the Korean War, as was the son of Dwight D. Eisenhower, who later became President of the United States.

Let us reconsider the phrase "Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea" once more. Who dares to use this language of treason? Who has permitted this language to be used? Is it unreasonable to argue that this is treasonous language permitted by Lee Jae-myung, used by the Lee Jae-myung cabinet, and employed by the traitors of the Democratic Party who live with Lee Jae-myung?

Now, as the nation is being devastated by election fraud, the spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense repeatedly responded with "I will check" when a reporter inquired about the term "Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea."

Minister of National Defense Ahn Kyu-baek is dismantling tank barriers erected on roads near the demarcation line and is lifting restrictions in civilian control zones. Military facilities can no longer be safe from civilians. The Korea Military Academy, Korea Naval Academy, and Korea Air Force Academy have been merged into one, neutralizing the distinct characteristics of each branch. The National Defense Intelligence Agency has been completely disbanded. Now, there is no way to prevent spies from infiltrating the ROK Armed Forces. This is treason.

"Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea" is a term that China or North Korea can use. Anyone who uses this phrase should be called a dog that follows China or North Korea. Now, dogs have appeared in the Republic of Korea.

Therefore, since the Lee Jae-myung regime has clearly become a regime of treason, such people cannot be dealt with solely through election fraud. Election fraud is treason, but serving the "Chinese barbarians" with the phrase "Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea" is also treason. With treason compounded by treason, is not only suppression (토벌) and eradication (척살) the only answer?
