So That Others Might Be Free, Part IV
Officially it was designated Hill 255, but its contour lines on a map of Korea and a 1959 film made it world famous as Pork Chop Hill. Based on a book by military historian S.L.A. Marshall, the movie dealt only with the penultimate, two-day battle for Pork Chop Hill in April 1953. In actuality, that hill claimed the lives of soldiers from the United States, Thailand, Colombia, the Republic of Korea (ROK) and China in an ongoing struggle that lasted longer than on any other single battlefield in Korea.
After Communist North Korean forces invaded South Korea on June 25, 1950, the war raged up and down the peninsula several times as the United States, the United Nations (U.N.) and finally Communist China sent ground forces there. By July 1952, however, both sides had constructed such strong defensive lines that neither could undertake a major offensive without suffering unacceptable losses. In 1952, North Korea and China had 290,000 men on the front lines and another 600,000 in reserve. The U.N. countered with 250,000 troops on the line, backed by 450,000 reserves.

Comprising two related actions, firstly at Chateau-Thierry from 3-4 June and then at Belleau Wood itself from 6-26 June, the Battle of Belleau Wood saw the re-capture by U.S. forces of the wood on the Metz-Paris road taken at the end of May by German Seventh Army forces arriving at the Marne River around Chateau-Thierry and held by four divisions as part of the German Aisne offensive.
Chateau-Thierry formed the tip of the German advance towards Paris, some 50 miles south-west. Defended by U.S. Second and Third Divisions dispatched at the behest of the French by AEF Commander-in-Chief Jack Pershing, the Americans launched a counter-attack on 3-4 June with the assistance of the French Tenth Colonial Division; in a spirited action together they succeeded in pushing the Germans back across the Marne to Jaulgonne.
Rejuvenated by success first at Cantigny (at the end of May) and now at Chateau-Thierry, General Bundy’s Second Division forces followed up Chateau-Thierry two days later with the difficult exercise of capturing Belleau Wood.
Second Division’s Marine Corps, under James Harbord, were tasked with the taking of the wood. This perilous venture involved a murderous trek across an open wheat field, swept from end to end by German machine gun fire, a fact that continues to generate controversy today among some historians.
As a consequence of the open nature of the advance on the wood, casualties on the first day, 6 June, were the highest in Marine Corps history (a dubious record which remained until the capture of Japanese-held Tarawa in November 1943).
Fiercely defended by the Germans, the wood was first taken by the Marines (and Third Infantry Brigade), then ceded back to the Germans - and again taken by the U.S. forces a total of six times before the Germans were finally expelled. Also captured were the nearby villages of Vaux and Bouresche.
The battle ran from 6-26 June and by its end saw U.S. forces suffer 9,777 casualties, of which 1,811 were fatal. The number of German casualties is not known, although some 1,600 troops were taken prisoner. More critically, the combined Chateau-Thierry/Belleau Wood action brought to an end the last major German offensive of the war.
The French name for the wood, Bois Belleau, was subsequently officially renamed Bois de la Brigade de Marine, in honour of the Marine Corps’s tenacity in its re-taking.

Sometimes helping others be free has a very high cost. America’s military heros have always been willing to pay that price. Liberty and freedom never come cheap, no more so today than the cost borne by this nation over a hundred forty years ago on a battlefield in Pensylvania .... not far from where another group of heros, ordinary citizens, gave their lives on September 11, 2001. Remember.
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Armed Forces Day
Armed Forces Day is celebrated annually on the third Saturday of May. Armed Forces Week begins on the second Saturday of May and ends on the third Sunday of May, the day after Armed Forces Day.
“It is fitting and proper that we devote one day each year to paying special tribute to those whose constancy and courage constitute one of the bulwarks guarding the freedom of this nation and the peace of the free world.”
-- President Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Lest We Forget
he Atlantic, with its extensions such as the North Sea, the Baltic, the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, is the most important ocean in the world. The only major populated land mass that the Atlantic does not touch is Australia. For centuries, the Atlantic has been the key trade highway of civilization. Exactly sixty-four years ago today, it became the scene of a tremendous battle.
In September 1939, this highway once again became the theater in which a major war would be won and lost. It had often been such a theater. World War I and the Napoleonic Wars come immediately to mind.
“September 1939. The Atlantic becomes the primal chasm, the wild void on whose conquest rests the fate of men...”
For Britain and her allies, victory in the Atlantic war meant keeping the Atlantic sea lanes open to their shipping. From the outset, Britain was vulnerable. She could not feed herself. A vast quantity of her food had to be imported via the Atlantic sea lanes. Over these sea lanes also came all of Britain’s oil, a vital strategic resource then, as now. Apart from this, practically every GI who would fight in Europe was convoyed over the Atlantic sea lanes, not to mention fuel, food and supplies for all the Allied armies.
For the Germans, victory in the Atlantic meant denying its use to Britain and her allies. Britain herself would be isolated, strangled, and knocked out of the war. Denial of the sea lanes to the Allies meant a war to destroy, or at least immobilize, the Allied merchant marines.
Although magnetic mines, the Luftwaffe, and surface raiders took a certain toll, the burden of the German effort was borne by the U-boats, and this fact shaped the general character of the Atlantic war.
“Everywhere beneath the sea, everywhere the enemy. Resolute ships struggle to survive...”
Because of its nature, the Atlantic war was possessed of little of the grandeur and drama of the Pacific war, with its monumental carrier battles, its far-flung amphibious operations, and the battles for remote islands, such as Guadalcanal, that became legend. Only a few legends, such as the pursuit of the battleship Bismarck, came out of the plodding, dreary, monotonous, but vital battle over the key oceanic supply line of the war, the Battle of the
Atlantic.
The Bismarck sortie of 18-27 MAY 1941 represented the supreme effort of the German navy to exploit surface raiders in the Battle of the Atlantic. The most notorious prior effort had been that of the pocket-battleship Graf Spee during the early months of the war.
Graf Spee’s raiding cruise netted nine merchant ship victims in the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans, and had put the Allies to a vast amount of trouble in an attempt to corner her. And corner her they did, on 13 DEC 1939, in the Battle of the River Plate, with British cruisers Ajax, Achilles and Exeter. Following the battle, the Graf Spee sought shelter and time to lick her wounds in the neutral port of Montevideo. On 17 DEC 1939, facing a choice of internment in Uruguay, further battle, or suicide, her captain, Hans Langsdorff, chose suicide, for both the ship and himself.
The regular warships of the German Navy did not return to the Atlantic trade war until October 1940, when the Graf Spee’s sister ship, Admiral Scheer, broke out on a five-month raiding cruise, under the wily Captain Theodor Krancke. With this effort is associated another of the few legends of the Atlantic war, the epic and fatal struggle of a single convoy escort (the auxiliary cruiser Jervis Bay) against the Scheer’s overwhelming firepower, in an attempt to protect convoy HX-84, or at least give its ships time to scatter and escape. And in this, Jervis Bay was largely successful. Thanks to her gallantry, Scheer’s bag was much smaller than it might have been.
Scheer cruised on, however, through the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans, to run up a total score of destroyed or captured merchant shipping roughly twice that of the Graf Spee. And unlike Spee, she returned safely home. Again her pursuers had been put to a vast amount of trouble in trying to corner her, wearing out ships’ hulls and machinery, wearing down the efficiency of their crews, diverting ships that were needed elsewhere, and burning tons upon tons of fuel oil that could only be replaced across the very ocean lifeline the Scheer, like U-boats and other raiders, was threatening.
While Scheer was still out, heavy cruiser Admiral Hipper darted out on a pair of hit-and-run raids that were modestly successful, and then came Fleet Admiral Gunther Lütjens with battle cruisers Scharnhorst and Gneisenau. These raiders inaugurated a two-month reign of terror on the North Atlantic convoy routes, accounting for 22 merchant ships before following Hipper into the French port of Brest. There they were held for maintenance and repairs, in preparation for even bigger things to come.
These took the shape of Operation Rheinübung, the first Atlantic war cruise of the Bismarck. The original plan was for Bismarck to sortie in company with Hipper’s sister cruiser, the Prinz Eugen. As they broke into the Atlantic, Scharnhorst and Gneisenau were to sortie from Brest in support (Hipper had broken back to German waters), and the four ships were to join hands at sea and thus form a battle squadron that could be strong enough to sever Britain’s ocean lifelines.
However, Scharnhorst and Gneisenau could not be made ready in time. Bismarck and Prinz Eugen had to break out alone, in the teeth of a Royal Navy that was aroused and smarting from its humiliations of recent months. And on 18 MAY 1941, under Admiral Lütjens, Bismarck sailed to her destiny.
In the course of breaking out into the Atlantic on 24 MAY 1941, Bismarck sent the pride of the Royal Navy, battle cruiser Hood, to the bottom. But in turn, the Royal Navy mounted an unprecedented effort to corner and destroy Bismarck. After being chased across the North Atlantic, Bismarck was crippled by planes of the Fleet Air Arm (flying from carrier Ark Royal), pounded into a wreck by British battleships and cruisers, and sunk, on 27 MAY 1941. Hood was avenged, and the Atlantic lifelines were reprieved.
No German battleship ever again attempted to cut them.
“There are no tombstones in the sea, only the drifting remnants of disaster. The ocean floor is littered with the skeletons of ships and sailors who died that freedom might live...”

Forsake The Troops Update
I was browsing some of our blogrolled blog sites in the last few minutes and came across this interesting story at Annoying Little Twerp’s blog. Barb forgot to put a link to the ”Forsake The Troops” blog site but I have it filed (under “C for cockroaches). So, I weighed anchor and sailed over to weasel’s web site to further investigate this mysterious “death”. Pictured below is a screenshot of what I found at the mealy-mouthed maggot’s blog site ....
Hmmmmm. Seemed mighty suspicious to me so I decided to don my “intrepid reporter’s” cloak and pursue the story. I tracked the web site down in the WHOIS registry to Syracuse, NY and a quick search with Google showed that he had made the local Syracuse news in recent months with his behavior. That’s where the conundrum occurred. The owner of the site, according to ARINN (which has severe penalties for fraudulently registering a domain) is Michael Crook of Syracuse, NY (yes, that’s in “Hilldabeast Country").
However, another quick search of Google with keywords “Syracuse + News” turned up three local TV stations and .... not one of them had a story about Mr. Crook’s “demise” in any of the local news coverage. Plenty of robberies, muggings, killings, break-ins, overdoses in the area (hey, it’s New York, remember?) but Mr. Crook’s death evidently escaped the local news.
Another fraud from this bullshit-artist? I think so. Then again I could be wrong and we can all dance our “happy dance”. If anyone has any information related to the timely demise of Mr. Crook, please forward it to me here. Otherwise, I smell a rather large rat ....
Update: As noted in the comments here (from Fine Old Cannibal) the weenies at Democratic Underground are peeing their panties over this hoax .... and that’s exactly what it is. Dang! (with thanks to DreadPundit Bluto for tracking this down).

Above And Beyond
Sergeant’s Gutsy Push Nets Navy Cross
MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. (April 28, 2005)—Entangled by an ambush of more than 50 insurgents, and showered by dozens of rocket-propelled grenades, Sgt. Willie L. Copeland III didn’t automatically take cover - he took charge.
Sorely outnumbered by insurgents, he led a fierce counterattack while safeguarding his Marines from heavy enemy fire, according to battlefield accounts.
For his heroic actions and bold leadership in Operation Iraqi Freedom, Copeland, team leader for 2nd Platoon, Company B, 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, received the nation’s second-highest combat award - the Navy Cross - April 21 at the Camp Del Mar Boat Basin.
“You don’t expect him to come home and get that kind of award,” said his mother, Robyn Copeland. “However, I was already very proud of him before the award.
“I didn’t need this to know he’s an exceptional person.”
Seven Marines have been awarded the Navy Cross since Jan. 10 in OIF, according to Staff Sgt. Ronald N. Mendez, adjutant chief for I Marine Expeditionary Force.
The battle that triggered Copeland’s heroics erupted April 7, 2004, near the Al Anbar Province. An estimated 40-60 insurgents opened fire from well-fortified positions on a 15-vehicle convoy, according to the award citation.
Copeland led five Marines out toward the enemy through a deep, muddy canal. They pushed the attack against the enemy at close range.
The Marines killed 10 insurgents and pushed back many enemy fighters, the citation said.
“Everyone in that platoon was heavily engaged,” said Col. Rory E. Talkington, who recommended the award for Copeland. “The fact that Sgt. Copeland was not hit was just miraculous.”
However, his platoon commander, Capt. Brent L. Morel, was wounded at his side during the battle.
“Unwilling to subject any more Marines to danger, he signaled others to remain in covered positions,” the citation reads. “While placing himself in a position to shield his wounded officer, he applied first aid.”
Morel was evacuated and later died.
Assistant Secretary of the Navy Richard Greco pinned the award on Copeland during the ceremony.

I Blame The Teacher
A young boy in high school at Columbas, GA is now suspended from school because he took a phone call from his mother, who is on active duty in Iraq.
Kevin Francois gave up his lunch break to talk to his mother, but it ended up costing him the rest of the school year.
Francois, a junior at Spencer High School in Columbus, was suspended for disorderly conduct Wednesday after he was told to give up his cell phone at lunch while talking to his mother who is deployed in Iraq, he said.
According to the Muscogee County School District Board of Education’s policy, students are allowed to have cell phones in school, but cannot use them during school hours.
“They are really allowed to have those cell phones so that after band or after chorus or after the debate and practices are over they have to coordinate with the parents,” said Alfred Parham, assistant principal at Spencer. “They’re not supposed to use them for conversating back and forth during school because if they were allowed to do that, they could be text messaging each other for test questions.”
Francois said he told the teacher, “This is my mom in Iraq. I’m not about to hang up on my mom.”
Francois said the teacher tried to take the phone, causing it to hang up.
The student said he then went with the teacher to the school’s office where he surrendered his phone. His mother called again at 12:37 p.m. and left a message scolding her son about hanging up and telling him to answer the phone when she calls.
I’m sorry but this story makes me extremely angry. I would like nothing better than to beat the teacher involved in this case severely about the ears and teach him/her what domination games feels like when you’re on the receiving end. DAMN! That pisses me off!

Lynndie England may be off the hook for now but Brigadier General Janis Karpinski, who was in charge of the prison is being demoted. They’re taking away her star and giving her the bird, demoting her to Colonel ....
The Army will demote and issue a formal letter of reprimand to the only general punished in the abuse of detainees at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.
Army Reserve Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski will be reduced to the rank of colonel as a result of an Army Inspector General investigation into a scandal that tarnished the United States’ reputation abroad and set in motion a string of high-level inquiries.
In a statement released Thursday, the Army said Karpinski was guilty of dereliction of duty and shoplifting. Investigators did not substantiate allegations that she made a false statement to an investigating team and failed to obey a lawful order.
Karpinski was relieved of command of the 800th Military Police Brigade on April 8.
Not knowing all the details, I’m not sure whether this is good or not. I do know that Karpinski was very critical of her senior officers after the whole “scandal” broke and did a lot of complaining to the media. Maybe this is just payback. What say you ....?
Question: What’s up with the “shoplifting” charge?

Mistrial For Lynndie England
Well, it looks like the Abu Ghraib crap will continue on and on and on and .... The judge just threw out England’s guilty plea and declared a mistrial, sending the jury packing ....
FORT HOOD, Texas - A military judge on Wednesday threw out Pfc. Lynndie England’s guilty plea to prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib, saying he was not convinced that she knew her actions were wrong at the time.
Col. James Pohl entered a plea of not guilty for England to a charge of conspiring with Pvt. Charles Graner Jr. to maltreat detainees at the Baghdad-area prison.
The mistrial for the 22-year-old reservist, who appeared in some of the most notorious photographs from the 2003 abuse scandal, kicks the case back to the military equivalent of a grand jury proceeding.
The action came after Graner, the reputed ringleader of the abuse, testified as a defense witness at England’s sentencing hearing that pictures he took of England holding a naked prisoner on a leash at Abu Ghraib were meant to be used as a legitimate training aid for other guards.
Other photos showed England standing next to nude prisoners stacked in a pyramid and pointing at a prisoner’s genitals.
When England pleaded guilty Monday, she told the judge she knew that the pictures were being taken purely for the amusement of the guards.
Pohl said the two statements could not be reconciled.
“You can’t have a one-person conspiracy,” the judge said before he declared the mistrial and dismissed the sentencing jury.
Correction, judge. You can have a one-person conspiracy - it’s called Hillary Clinton. But I digress. This young lady deserves punishment for acting like an idiot, possibly an Article 15 at most. The whole reason for this trial is to satisfy the Liberals who latched onto the Abu Ghraib issue to attack the war in Iraq. England is just a pawn. A stupid pawn but a pawn, nevertheless.

Firing Squad
The US soldier who murdered several of his fellow troops in a grenade attack during the Iraq invasion finally got his judgement yesterday. The death penalty, that is. It’s about time. Notice the bulletproof vest under that uniform below? As far as I’m concerned, the best justice would be to send this creep back to his platoon. He wouldn’t last five minutes ....
FORT BRAGG, N.C. - Hours after giving a brief, barely audible apology, a soldier was sentenced to death by a military jury for attacking comrades with a rifle and grenades early in the Iraq invasion.
Sgt. Hasan Akbar, 34, could have been sentenced Thursday to life in prison with or without parole for the March 2003 attack on members of the elite 101st Airborne Division at Camp Pennsylvania in Kuwait. Two officers were killed and 14 other soldiers were wounded.
Prosecutors say Akbar launched the attack at his camp — days before the soldiers were to move into Iraq — because he was concerned about U.S. troops killing fellow Muslims in the Iraq war.
“He is a hate-filled, ideologically driven murderer,” chief prosecutor Lt. Col. Michael Mulligan said. He added that Akbar wrote in his diary in 1997, “My life will not be complete unless America is destroyed.”
Akbar is the first American since the Vietnam era to be prosecuted on charges of murdering a fellow soldier during wartime.
Akbar will be the sixth person on the military’s death row at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. The last U.S. military execution was in 1961.
For my money, killing’s too good for this weasel. A public beheading is in order here. Where’s my sword ....?

Band Of Sisters
Remember Jessica Lynch? The young female Army private who was captured, tortured and finally rescued from Iraqi insurgents two years ago? The media made a big deal out of it and a TV special movie was made about her experience.
What you may not know is the story of a friend and fellow soldier of Lynch named Lori Piestewa. Piestewa was a native American of the Hopi Indians in Arizona. She was a single mother with two very small children, aged 3 and 4. She is also the only Native American female soldier killed on foreign soil. Lori was killed in the same attack where Jessica Lynch was captured.
Jessica Lynch has not forgotten her fallen sister and has quietly gone about the task of making a dream come true that she and Lori talked about many times while they were serving in Iraq .... building a nice home for Lori’s parents. Next week, Lori’s parents will move out of their battered, overstuffed mobile home in Tuba City, Arizona and into a new $500,000 house north of Flagstaff, with a glorious view of the San Francisco Peaks, courtesy of the popular ABC program Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
How did this happen?
They were nominated for the home by Lori’s best friend, former POW Jessica Lynch, whose riveting story of capture and near death dominated the first few weeks of the Iraq war. Lynch also will be assisting in the design of the 4,300-square-foot home, which will be built during the next week by a crew of 1,300 workers from Shea Homes of Phoenix and filled with more than $65,000 worth of furniture. In addition to the new home, the ABC program is arranging for a new Navajo Nation Veterans Office to be built in Tuba City, also within the next week.
All thanks to Jessica Lynch remembering her friend and the dream her friend had .... and then making that dream come true. My hat is off to Jessica Lynch and I pray for the soul of Lori Piestewa. Honor, duty and sacrifice are one thing .... this is something else entirely. Something very few people outside the mlitary seem to understand.
Lori Piestewa
Memo: From all of us here at BMEWS .... thanks, Jessica.
