Continuing it's cultural presence as "The Forgotten War", the Korean conflict remains under-covered in most western media. Honestly, even with my military service there and my minor in Asian Studies (including Korean Politics) - I've got a stack of references still on my must-read list on the subject. One reason I was really interested when I saw the excellent reviews posted for this Blu-Ray of a movie made during the war.
Frankly, although it largely plays out as a Marine recruiting film, this is a tight little number that does a really good job covering some of the first major marine actions involved in the war. Starting from the very beginning, we find the USMC is barely able to muster a full division of men at the start of hostilities even after calling up all the reserves, embassy security forces and embarked detachments - a bare 6 years following the end of WWII.
