  1. The Taiwanese (ROC) political commissars today however do more the role of psychological operations, public affairs, and a secular form of chaplain duties (i.e. counseling). This is in contrast to the PLA ones who can get confrontational against the commander and performs inquisitions into the ranks.

  2. The US/UN only really lost 개성(開成), but saved South Korea as intended and even advanced in the eastern mountains. Plus the surprise success of the PVA only lasted a couple months until UN combined arms tactics got refined at 지평리(砥平里), afterward getting consistently beaten back until they were able to dig in for classic trench warfare at the line that splits the peninsula today. But sure continue to gloat about 장진(長津), where the outnumbered Americans escaped with practically all its serviceable equipment and organization intact and still had space to rescue over 80000 Korean refugees, while the PVA ultimately lost almost half its fighting strength and totally failed in its goals to destroy X Corps and conquer all of Korea.
