Crimes of Occupation Troops (1) It is 68 years since the U.S. troops occupied south Korea. They landed there, without firing a single shot, on September 8, 1945, to stay on till today. The U.S. occupation of south Korea and its policy of aggression have caused untold pains of national split and calamities. In the middle of the last century a war broke out on the Korean Peninsula, and in the years that followed there had been constant threat of war owing to the U.S. occupation and its aggressive ambition to conquer the whole of Korea. The U.S. occupation forces are not the "liberator" or "peace-maker" as they professed themselves to be; they are invaders and peace killers. The U.S. atrocities against Koreans furnish ample proof of this. Here we cite a few examples. Bombings of Fishing Boats On June 8, 1948, a horrible incident occurred on the sea near the Ullung Island. A south Korean news agency described the incident as one rarely to be seen even in wartime. The story goes like this. That day some 15 boats home-ported on Ullung Island were in fishing operation. At around 11:40 in the morning, 9 military planes turned up in the air. None of the boaters thought they would be the very targets of air strike. Planes began diving, bombing and strafing. The sea soon dyed in crimson blood; all the 11 boats were sunken and nine fishermen were killed, and more wounded. All this happened at a blink of time. Many drowning men cried for help only to be strafed and bombed. As was revealed later, the criminals of this hair-raising incident were pilots of the U.S. aggressor troops stationed in south Korea. The pilots spotted the fishing boats as they had been on air training. The American pilots yelled for joy as they sought a way to kill time, and to kill men whom they regarded inferior to them. A glint in their eyes, they looked at each other before they pounced upon their preys. "What nice moving targets!" Like hungry wolves, the blood-hungry pilots felt they were in good luck. The moment an order came to bomb the fishing boats. Bombs poured down. Some helpless fishermen waved their jackets to the pilots for help. But the merciless devils strafed at the sinking boats. In a minute, bodies of fishermen were seen floating on the surface of the water. The devils returned to their base leisurely. Man-killing seemed most joyful kill time for them. This was not the first incident of U.S. atrocity in south Korea. They perpetrated bloody suppression of the south Korean people calling for social democracy and withdrawal of the U.S. troops. Bombing and strafing of fishing boats were also committed elsewhere in the seas off south Korea. Whenever complaints were mounted against their atrocities, the U.S. brass hats just found excuses, saying "the U.S. planes may get involved in the bombing, but it must have been an accidental or the planes might have taken fishing boats for a green rock on the water surface." All this shows that the U.S. troops are a pack of robbers whose sole pleasure is killing and pillage and the continued presence of the U.S. troops in south Korea will bring nothing good, but greater pains and miseries to the south Korean people.
