June 23, 1952: Bombings

Bombing of North Korean defensive and strategic positions and cities has always been decent, standard targets under the rules of engagement, but now North Korean power plants, including dams and Nuclear power plants has been authorized. This must mean we’re getting desperate, looking to hit them where it really hurts. Confidence and morale is beginning to fall, and we’re not sure how much longer we can continue to fight this war. The bombings caused harsh retaliation by the Chinese forces in Korea, being treated with a special kind of brutality in communist POW camps. The largest percentage of our missing in action troops are airmen and the bombings are hurting the Korean people, not the communist Russian supply factories or the Chinese troops that are on the ground. I am starting to fear that this bombing raid is being done strictly for morale, instead of being strategic in nature.
