My dear dad whom has been long gone now for the last 31 years, died at a relatively young age, 59 years old. I will always treasure his few words on what he endured while deployed in Korea, spending a brutal winter under really hard conditions, enemy fire, lack of shelter, bad food or sometimes none at all, all of those hardships he and his thousands of comrades endured, fulfilling their duty, living up to their individual oaths to our Constitution. It was while he was under these conditions that his internal organs/digestive system was damaged, which ultimately, over time led to his untimely death due to colon cancer. He was USA, very proudly so, and as the folks in this great documentary all say, not a bragging kind of guy, who remained humble and respectful of his fellow vet's for the rest of his life.

Got frostbite on his hands and feet and had to go to the rear to recover. Afterwards volunteered to be an MP. He only talked about it once after I got out of the Army in the 80s. My mom was a Private who did out processing for the soldiers when they got back home. That was at Ft. Sam Houston in 1953. That’s when they met. She just turned 90.

I was incredibly fortunate and worked for years with Paul Vozakis in Evanston Wyoming. Paul was a tank driver in Korea who, when his first tour was up, enlisted with the Air Force and worked on F-86s. His patriotic drive then urged him to sign up again and he went on to work with SAC as a missile maintenance troop.... that’s what he called everybody.. old troop, little troop. We all walk on firmer foundations thanks to all who sacrificed.

[@paulfrank9047]

While many Americans don’t specifically remember the Korean War, these soldiers should feel proud that South Korea still stands today independent of its totalitarian Northern neighbor. South Korea is one of our most reliable Allies and is one of the most prosperous countries on earth. The war wasn’t fought for “nothing” like say Afghanistan or even worse, Iraq. The war also was the first instance of the the US using containment against the Soviets, which many believe helped win the Cold War. Interestingly, this war led to Truman having extremely low approval ratings, but I feel the collapse of the USSR in 91 vindicates his policy.

I only wish some of that cash generated from that movie could be spent to develop the museum to tell the generation living in my region of the true bravery of the soldiers who fought in Korea. Watching this document I have have nothing but respect for all that fought and struggled.

Would love a Ken Burns-style documentary on The Korean War. This specific documentary didn't really explain much about the geopolitics leading up to the war or how the war ended. Why were there two Koreas? Why the UN get involved? Was South Korea part of the UN or did a UN country have a stake in it like in Vietnam? When did we decide to leave Korea? Why was MacArthur fired? I understand a lot of this from other sources, but hope to find a good documentary that can fill in some of the history.

[@thunderbird1921]

Well, to clarify some points (be ready for a long comment), South Korea and North Korea were formed after the peninsula was jointly seized from the Japanese by the U.S. and Soviet Union at the end of World War II. Yes, South Korea WAS a UN member (North Korea wasn't IIRC), and thus the UN had legitimate reason to defend them. Furthermore, up until 1950, the spread of Communism had been unstoppable (it won virtually every civil war, uprising or conquest involved). Eastern Europe, China, the list is a lengthy one. Stalin realized though after the Berlin blockade in 1948 that it was unwise to pursue showdowns with America and Britain directly, so he and his fellow Commies apparently came up with a new (and rather brilliant) plan: Conquest By Regional Ally. Essentially, he would arm these fledgling Communist regimes, and they would fight the wars for him (Theoretically, this could be set up all over the world, dragging America, Britain or THEIR regional allies into endless warfare, without ever directly fighting the Soviet Union). China conquering Tibet is possibly one example of this strategy. What Stalin underestimated though was America's will to defend allies (he possibly thought we would try to step back a bit again after World War II). Thus, he gave Kim Il-Sung the green light to invade South Korea, after arming him similar to Mao's China. Much to their shock, the U.S. gave North Korea an ultimatum to withdraw and then launched a coalition intervention (the British Commonwealth and several other powers joined us). With the UN Security Council and General Secretary's approval, we attacked, and it was the CORRECT move as it showed we would not tolerate allies being invaded and it shattered the Communism invincibility myth (critical to stemming the Soviet ambitions). MacArthur was fired in 1951 NOT for wanting to use nukes after China intervened for NK (Truman actually agreed with him that it should be at least considered), but rather for freelancing on public statements, including provoking the Soviets. He said stuff like "China can't win, we'll beat them, they'll lose too unless the Soviets help them". Truman was FURIOUS, as U.S. forces were already taking a battering from the unexpected Chinese onslaught, and also knew Soviet intervention could mean nuclear war (his response to MacArthur was essentially "Would you shut the **** up before you get us all killed"). Besides, by this time, General Matthew Ridgway was essentially UN force commander in all but name and a few powers (MacArthur let him run things how he wanted). Ridgway was an absolutely PHENOMENAL leader, he totally turned morale around, adjusted strategy, and soon was literally destroying the Chinese in battle after battle (along with the few surviving North Korean divisions). He's hands down one of the greatest generals in American history. Korea became a stalemate just ABOVE the 38th Parallel because we feared the Soviets would promptly intervene if the Communists were again bulldozed off the peninsula (since they literally shared a border with NK). It was frustrating, but probably the best result we could hope for. After Stalin died in 1953, the Communists needed to regroup, and realized the war in Korea just wasn't worth it. Thus, we got the armistice and DMZ that summer. A brutal struggle, but one I feel was DEFINITELY justified.

I would like to give honor to a wonderful man, Paul Vozakis, a veteran during Korea and after. I had the good fortune to work with him closely for years, Paul was one of the kindest and most honorable people I have known. I watched him be very patient with people who have never known the meaning of service and whose vision of America centered solely on personal enrichment. Paul never did tell graphic stories of his experiences and he called everyone “Troop”. Paul was drafted from Evanston Wyoming where he worked at the Union Pacific yard as did his Greek immigrant father. He was a tank driver for the Army that served his enlistment and due to his love of flight and aptitude re-upped in the Air Force as a mechanic on f-80s then on f-86s. Again aptitude and sense of duty saw him sign on agin to service the first intercontinental ballistic missiles working for SAC until his retirement from service. When I worked with Paul it was at the wastewater treatment plant in Evanston where he continued his service to community until his retirement there.

My grandfather served in the Army as a Lieutenant from 52-53 in Korea and passed away in 2016. He was from Queens and was a very charismatic and gentle person. He was originally planning on becoming a Catholic priest, but ended up working with the VA as a social worker after the war. My mom told me he would never, ever speak about his time in Korea. My grandmother told my mom that the most she ever heard him say was that it was unimaginably cold, and that there was a point in time where he and his friends had to catch and eat rats to survive. He would never share details, but my grandmother told my mom that he would have night terrors about defending a specific bridge. I wish I had asked him about his time there when I was younger, but everyone in the family knew not to ask grandpa about his time in the army. My mother also told me that other students would bully him during WW2 since he was a 1st generation Italian immigrant (his family was from Naples). Not asking him about his experiences is one of my greatest regrets. I wish I could tell him how much I appreciate his service and his sacrifice.

Both the Korean and the subsequent Vietnam wars were the same on the American perspective, and they were more or less similar on the ground as well. Both of them were divided in the middle on a temporary agreements brokered by Americans, and the Americans were there to keep them divided. However, both Kim and Ho were fighting to liberate their countries from the imperialist. Ho won Vietnam and the country is one peaceful Vietnam now. In Korea however, the war is far from over. and the hostility can ignite at any moment with potential use of nuclear arsenal.

so sad that there is absolutely no culture in America of remembrance, history or any kind of cultivated heritage

I remember as a kid asking my dad,a ww2 Cdn infantryman what a police action was.he said if those bugle blowing bastards are charging up the hill at you.Its a war.lol

[@Becky_Davis]

My father and an uncle were in the Korean War. My Dad was stationed in France. My uncle was in South Korea. He was a POW. I tell you, the nightmares were horrendous not only for my Uncle but the family. I spent the night one time and he acted out during a nightmare. His eyes were huge and he was barking orders. He took the dining table and made a barrier and made sure we were all behind it. Scary!

"China's involvement in the Korean War " there is another side of story ,however i can't post the link on here , it will automaticly deleted

[@vernonfindlay1314]

God bless these men and women, ww1,ww2,Korean war,Veitamn war, Bosnian, Afganistan, Iraqi war.🙏🇨🇦,USA, and many others. My wife had a great Uncle in Korea, he came back with a box full of pictures.

[@JohnEglick-oz6cd]

Hmm Those pictures depicted some tuff times , I bet .

[@jaypenha5352]

Another thing to take from this and I think what people don't think about this is that the war is not technically over. Maybe that is why it is a "forgotten" war. One thing I can say, because I have been to this country myself and now hearing these vets stories, is that I got to see the country in 2007 decades after the armistice. The country was flourishing then like it is now and These old vets can be rest assured that their sacrifice was not in vain. This was not a cold war conflict that ended in failure and the republic of korea is still standing to this day. That is the difference between this and vietnam. American troops did not die in South Korea for nothing.

[@raymondholley8646]

It was forgotten because we lost it just like Vietnam

*”Pil Sung Sir”. In relative peacetime …it was in late 70s & early 80s while serving in the 2nd ID 4/7 Cav when we saluted we’d use those *words. Although loosely translated we’d term those words as “Peace Through Victory”. Lest we forget…Please let’s always remember the dedication and sacrifices given to all from all those military and civilians that experienced the Korean War!

Never forget , the state has no human conscience . ONLY THE INDIVIDUAL HAS CONSCIENCE .

[@billybreuer3224]

My dad was stationed in Japan with First Calvary division when the Korean war started. He was in a artillery unit he was one of the first to go. He died In 1993, l regret not asking about his experience.

The Chinese warned the US not to come any closer to their border. The Americans did. The Chinese drove them back. The Korean war started by the United states of America and the Soviet union It took China to end it Korean war was a proxy war between these two imperialist nations. The Korean people suffered greatly. And they still do.

[@bobliu3399]

@Sailor Bob without warning? The Chinese sent numerous signals to the United States in October, but the Americans said that if the Chinese entered the war, the Chinese would be massacred.

[@ipfreak]

@@loriryde5437 that was what your media told you. including losses who died in those crazy bombing, china lost less than 200k. but the chinese military was mainly light infantries with almost no heavy artilleries in first a few battles until mid of 1951, fought off american ground troops, air forces and navy. btw, russian weapons didn't get to the chinese until mid 1951. the chinese were not in korea for "ism" any sort. just simple geopolitical politics: no foreign troops were and are allowed to cross 38th line! the same rule was laid down for vietnam, no foreign troops were allowed to cross 17th line! yep american troops in vietnam never crossed 17th line.

[@amosxu3494]

North Korea took the initiative to launch a national reunification war, South Korea has been losing ground! It wasn't until the US led the 16-nation coalition in the Korean War that China was forced into the war!

"most of the time it was 20 below" "twenty feet of snow" 0___0 The second year of the war was characterized by multiple major offensives, back and forth.

I'm from China. I would say no matter what was the result, the ordinary people or those fighters have to fight for their country are most innocent

A friend of mine told me he spent his 21st birth on the Manchuria border with a million Chinese soldiers looking at him !

Perhaps McArthur shouldn’t have chased the NK so close to China.
