1954	The POW Scandal in Korea According to A.B Carey, one of the lessons learned from fighting the Kremlin and its “communism” ideology is evidently seen amongst the Korean and Chinese prisoners of war. Both groups of POW not only disapprove of the communism but would also actively fight against it if they had the opportunity.

He also proceeds to demonstrate ways the free world can defeat this communist caucus.
