A Travesty of Stolen Valor
29 December 2018
This film is yet another historical fantasy deceitfully created to rewrite Korean history to give modern South Korea the history it wants, not the history that actually happened. The real operation depicted here was a joint US Navy-CIA-KLO named Operation Trudy Jackson led by US Navy Lieutenant Eugene F. Clark. The all-Korean "X-Ray" operation this movie depicts is total fiction. LT Clark won a Silver Star for his bravery and leadership on this dangerous and crucial mission, and he is nowhere to be seen, nor are any of the other Americans who reconnoitered Incheon Harbor and Wolmido. Operation Chromite was an American operation from start to finish. All the ships, the planes, and 99% of the 40,000 troops of X-Corps who landed at Incheon and fought their way to liberate Seoul were American - not "UN," and only one South Korean marine corps battalion took part as a unit of 5th US Marine Regiment.
