Talk:Operation Big Switch

Contradiction
The math here doesn't add up...

Much to the surprise of the UN forces, 23 Americans and one Briton, along with 333 Korean UN soldiers, also declined repatriation.

Prisoners who declined repatriation were given ninety days to change their minds. 137 Chinese soldiers did so, and went back to China. Two Americans and eight Koreans also did so, and were returned to the West. That left 333 Koreans, 22 Americans and 1 Briton who voluntarily decided to stay with the Communists.[1][2]

If 23 Americans originally declined, and 2 reconsidered, that would leave 21. Similarly, an original total of 333 Koreans, with 8 reconsidering, would leave 325. I'm not sure of which numbers are correct, so I'll leave it for now, but this should probably be fixed. Seraphimblade Talk to me 15:29, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

The main article here says that there were 21, and that is what I have read elsewhere. I will change that. Maybe someone could do the same for the Korean numbers? Pennywisepeter 12:17, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
