No Gun Ri Massacre

Korean War: U.S. Army 7th Cavalry Regiment troops concluded
four days of shootings of civilians, sparked by fears that columns of
refugees might contain North Korean spies.
 

The No Gun Ri Massacre occurred on July 26–29, 1950, early in the Korean War, when an undetermined number of South Korean refugees were killed by the 2nd Battalion, 7th U.S. Cavalry Regiment (and a U.S. air attack) at a railroad bridge near the village of No Gun Ri (revised Romanization Nogeun-ri), 100 miles (160 km) southeast of Seoul. In 2005, the South Korean government certified the names of 163 dead or missing (mostly women, children and old men) and 55 wounded. It said many other victims' names were not reported. Over the years survivors' estimates of the dead have ranged from 300 to 500. The U.S. Army cites the number of casualties as "unknown."
The massacre allegations were little known outside Korea until the publication of Associated Press (AP) reports in 1999 containing interviews with 7th Cavalry veterans who corroborated Korean survivors' accounts. The AP also uncovered warfront orders to fire on refugees, given out of fear of enemy North Korean infiltration. After years of rejecting claims by survivors, the Pentagon conducted an investigation and, in 2001, acknowledged the killings, but referred to the three-day event as "an unfortunate tragedy inherent to war and not a deliberate killing." The U.S. rejected survivors' demands for an apology and compensation.
South Korean investigators disagreed with Pentagon findings, saying they believed 7th Cavalry troops were ordered to fire on the refugees. The survivors’ group called the U.S. report a "whitewash." Additional archival documents later emerged showing U.S. commanders ordering the shooting of refugees during this period, declassified documents found but not disclosed by Pentagon investigators. Among them was a report by the U.S. ambassador in South Korea in July 1950 that the U.S. military had adopted a theater-wide policy of firing on approaching refugee groups. Despite demands, the U.S. investigation was not reopened.
Prompted by the exposure of No Gun Ri, survivors of similar alleged incidents in 1950-1951 filed reports with the Seoul government. In 2008 an investigative commission said more than 200 cases of alleged large-scale civilian killings by the U.S. military had been registered, mostly air attacks.

happened here till the power elite won.. killed, stole/sold everything here, don't matter where the romans go, everything was free, everything....slavery on a global scale
others do NOT matter. start at athens when westerners where literate enough to get history wrote down, remember they also had major problems with the weather too, in rome. earthquakes.....go way way back ask lot, noah, the babble tower folks.....all the way to the here and now, wounded knee was payback for custer. the west introduced sleaze and then make us pay for the privilege do degredate our culture, denigrate society and humanities dignity worldwide....just what happens to our uniqueness?Failure for the mainstream media to report of these atrocities is evidence the Americans are being lied to by the sin of omission.  This a gross breach of public trust. These types of incidence go unreported or under reported hundreds of times everyday, newsmen look the other way; honest dedicated journalist feel intimidated  or end up dead. The sin of omission for personnel survival seems to be the norm...........................keep fighting the good fight, with your minds as weapon......
