The 7th Division fought two battles for Pork Chop Hill in 1953. The first was in April and is the battle depicted in the film. The second was a much larger and costlier battle in July. I made a minor correction in this article to reflect that. 131.238.92.62 12:11, 3 February 2006 (UTC)Buckboard

[edit] Racist??

In 1959 it seems quite racist to show only one black man who happens to be the only coward.

I dont know if this is based on the book, or whether it was true at all. However I would be surprised to hear that in Korea there where lone black men fighting alonside whites.

At worst it is quite racist and at best it shows lack of tact and political correctness.Cgonzalezdelhoyo 06:38, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

The Korean War was the beginning of the integration of blacks into the armed forces, replacing the old segregation of all black units. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.28.226.128 (talk) 12:36, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
