Mackenzie's Column on the Red Army's expendable troops in Korea
Mackenzie analyzes the phrase expendable as applied to Chinese forces in Korea. He cites MacArthur estimates of 810000 troops in North Korea with 200000 en route and three hundred million China well armed, arguing the UN must halt a massive Chinese advance or risk driving the line into the sea. He notes Chinese soldiers often face coerced service and brutal discipline, with waves of massed attacks and reports of narcotics or intoxication used to drive them forward. He warns the UN is anxious to prevent a broader Chinese war from erupting in Korea.
