	Chosin
		Trained and battle hardened in guerilla warfare, the CCF carried none of the baggage of a modern army.
		This resulted in the formation of the MLR and a series of vicious small-unit battles during the prolonged stalemate of armistice discussions.
		The fighting withdrawal of our 1st Marine Division from Chosin should have given the CCF much more to think about than it apparently did, in understanding the limitations of pitting massed troops against vastly superior fire-power, when that power was exercised by competent fighting men.

		There have been many bloody and savage battles by U.S. armed forces, and every battle seems rough for the participants, but I do believe that Chosin was a classic example of a small but well-disciplined force prevailing over a tenacious enemy, severe weather and overwhelming odds.
		Other battles have had high battle casualties and fierce fighting, but it was the severe weather and the fact that we were fighting off six Chinese divisions that made the Chosin Reservoir campaign so different from the rest.
		Chosin was much worse, in terms of weather, than other American battles, and the knowledge that there was no rescue team on the way [as at Bastogne] made it worse.

		They were trying to compare the battles in Korea with their memory's eye to the distant battle they may have fought.
