    considering that the people in South Korea live a lot better and is more rich than people in North Korea, I'd say that capitalism won over communism

      Except for the three million dead. They lost, from both sides.

    Wasn't it a United Nations approved and initiated war effort that started as a result of NK invading SK? And didn't at least 21 countries (not only the USA) comprise the UN forces, that fought against NK who was primarily backed by China, while the Soviets provided arms and aircraft, some of which were Chinese or provided to the Chinese? And most importantly, the war never ended, instead they signed a cease-fire that is still in effect.

    Most Americans are ignorant about the Korean War. They remember Vietnam, or World War 2, but Korea is glossed over. Even though MASH was one of the most popular US TV shows of all time.

    If anyone is interested in reading more about this, particularly from one individual's standpoint, I recommend reading James Butcher's Korea: Traces of a Forgotten War.

    The United States won a war in the Clausewitzian sense only once. Americans never got the political ends they desired from a military conflict, except the Mexican-American war of 1846.

    They lost. The initial goal of supporting and preserving South Korea was replaced with the publicly stated goal of pushing all the way to the Yalu River and reuniting the peninsula. In that, they failed thanks to Chinese intervention.
