Not sure I'm ready for this.  Sort of makes me think of "Combat" or the "Gallant Men" done as a German TV series.
"Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until too late that he's been playing with two queens all along".  Terry Pratchett.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Tallulah Bankhead: "I'll come and make love to you at five o'clock. If I'm late, start without me."

"When all other trusts fail, turn to Flashman." — Abraham Lincoln.

"I have enjoyed very warm relations with my two husbands."
"With your eyes closed?"
"That helped."  Lauren Bacall

Master Chiefs are sneaky, dastardly, and snarky miscreants who thrive on the tears of Ensigns and belly dancers.   Admiral Gerry Bogan.

Being from Chicomland, I expect the human wave attack tactics employed by the Chinese leadership to be downplayed.

I don't doubt their Korean War soldiers' commitment and loyalty, especially after seeing some interviews in which they sound like any other patriotic war veteran who did their duty.  But questions about totalitarian communist leadership methods, and their propensity to whitewash or completely cover them up, is always a consideration.  Especially since the Commie regime still rules the place with much censorship.

Band of Proletariat Peasant Capitalist Running-Dog Killers just doesn't have a ring to it.
