The Communist Corner...

#1 Post by TheGreenGoblin » Mon Nov 08, 2021 11:32 pm

Having become tired of right wing bastards (many of whom are seen on this forum). I flew for the left! I am proud of what we achieved, and am sorry we didn't shoot more of them down!

Ok, I am not a communist, nor do I want to shoot anybody down, but I have lost friends and family in the crazy unspoken war...

My mom's cousin flew P51's out there! He was a brave man, and never obviously frightened. His grave sits in West Park cemetery Johannesburg.

In remembrance of your cousin and the thousands of others...
I was back in Aussie,
Havin' lots of fun.
When the war broke out in Ko-re-a,
And they handed me a gun,
Just to fight for that bastard Syngman Rhee.

CHO:
Syngman Rhee!
Syngman Rhee!
Just to fight for that bastard, Syngman Rhee.

They sent me off to Ko-re-a,
It wasn't very nice,
I didn't come to Ko-re-a
To eat their f-----g rice,
Or to fight for that bastard, Syngman Rhee.

Oh, my feet are weary,
From travelling dusty roads,
Oh, my back is aching,
From carrying heavy loads,
'Cause I'm fighting for that bastard, Syngman Rhee.

If I get back to Aussie,
I'll tell some other lad,
Don't ever go to Ko-re-a,
Unless you're f-----g mad.
For you'll be fighting for that bastard, Syngman Rhee.

Of course we have a lot of museum visitors commenting on the Mig 17, usually in the vein that they were inferior compared with every other aircraft in Korea, in fact I have it on good authority that the Migs only managed to down a few allied planes because the North Koreans 'cheated' and had Soviet pilots!

There were no Mig 17s in the war in Korea.
