General Ridgway on “What are we fighting for?” --- The real issues are whether the power of Western civilization ... shall defy and defeat Communism;

whether the rule of men who shoot their prisoners, enslave their citizens, and deride the dignity of man, shall displace the rule of those to whom the individual and his individual rights are sacred; whether we are to survive with God's hand to guide and lead us, or to perish in the dead existence of a godless world.

If these be true, and to us they are, beyond any possibility of challenge, then this has long since ceased to be a fight for freedom for our Korean Allies alone and for their national survival. It has become, and it continues to be, a fight for our own freedom, for our own survival, in an honorable, independent national existence.

    • 基本是这样,人类的历史就是个人意志和集体意志的斗争史。极左和极右都想强加集体意志,扼杀个人意志。
