It's sad that the Korean war is known as "The Forgotten War" so many great men and women from multiple countries sacrificed for South Korea to ultimately not be occupied by North Korea. God bless the men and women who died in that conflict. And thank you to all the Veterans who served their country! You definitely are not forgotten!

[@elred9111]

Mainly men died not woman, in any war 99% killed or wounded are men

[@GenericYoutubeGuy]

I doubt this war is really forgotten anymore since Korea and China are such important topics in modern times

[@Eric-oe6ow]

@GenericUA-camGuy yeah maybe too someone who is interested in American history and warfare. But having you seen the videos where people will just ask random people in public questions like one for example that is very disappointing is someone will ask somebody, "Where did the Vietnam War take place?" And I feel multiple people who can't even answer Vietnam... That's just one simple question that there are lots of videos you can see on the web where lots of people can't even answer that question with the answer, "Vietnam". I don't think I've ever heard anybody ask the question similar to, "What countries were involved in the Korean War?". Or someone could ask, "Where was the Korean War involved mostly?". I truly do believe that if you went out to a big city, like let's say New York, New York, or Los Angeles, CA and you asked questions about the Korean War you would truly find out that it is still proper to call the Korean War "The Forgotten War". Because remember what President Truman called it when asked if it was a war? He said no it was just a, "Police Action" during a press conference on 6-27-1950. During which he emphasized how the United Nations Security Council had called for member states to assist in the "conflict". He was emphasizing this because he was just stating how it was a UN resolution rather than declaring a formal "War". And the United States never formally "Declared War" during the Korean "Police Action", how ridiculous is that? Thank God President Eisenhower was elected after Truman, because he played a big role in the armistice that was signed that ended this "Forgotten War". Did you know any of this about being called a "Police Action" and with the United States never formally "Declaring War' during this conflict? Because like the point I was making before, I don't think the average general public would understand that this truly was never a formal "War" in regards to the United States involvement. Edit history: sorry I had to "edit" this because I accidentally pressed enter on my phone to try and put a space where I was stating another fact and it posted a comment when I was not completely finished writing.

We are still there (the Koreans replaced U.S. units). In 1978, I commanded a platoon on a hilltop outpost. The American emphasis on movement lets us down when things come to a stalemate. As he said, during the war our front line was only about 200m deep (company depth) and we got shelled any time our guys came over the hill to the front line. The Communists dug tunnels through the mountain to their front line.
The sad part no one talks about is we captured the hill and held onto it despite the many attacks. Then we gave it up in the negotiations! You see, we had two hills (one of them the hill my platoon guarded). We didn't want to give them up in the negotiations. They are on either side on what was the main north-south road. So we captured one of their hills; then gave it back if they stopped attacking our hills. This was one of the final actions before the armistice (agreement to stop fighting, but NOT an agreement to end the war).
