Operation Paul Bunyan: A Tree's Role in Military History #facts #youtubeshorts #history
In 1976, a poplar tree in the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) nearly started a war.
After North Korean soldiers killed two U.S. officers who tried to trim the tree, the U.S. responded with Operation Paul Bunyan — a massive, bizarre show of force… just to cut it down.
🔹 23 American and South Korean vehicles
🔹 16 engineers with chainsaws
🔹 Brigades of armed soldiers
🔹 Helicopters, B-52 bombers overhead, and a carrier group on standby
North Korea watched in silence as the tree was swiftly chopped down.
No shots were fired — but the message was clear.
Operation Paul Bunyan: history’s most intimidating landscaping job.
