General Blames War Losses On U S Warnings Unheeded
U S Army general W L Roberts told the Senate Appropriations Committee that the U S government bears responsibility for South Korea’s defeats. He said repeated requests for more military aid were refused, Korea’s weapons priority was too low, and Rhee warned months earlier that U S arms would be essential. Roberts, who left Korea before the invasion, argued South Koreans fought well if armed. Senator Knowland backed the claim that Congress provided only limited arms aid.
