My grandfather fought for the UN forces, and he didn't like to talk about the actual fighting. He mostly spoke about his army buddies, local Koreans, and the unit's adopted dog "spare parts". I found 20 years of letters between my grandfather and a South Korean he befriend during the war. My grandfather didn't like the killing, but I believe that his Korean friend and his family having a better quality of life helped him deal with the conflict psychologically.

@Mocha_122 It must have been hard for him to see what North Korea became. I imagine it like my friends who served tours in Afghanistan for the Afghans to have human rights and democracy, and now it seems meaningless as the Taliban oppresses the people into universal poverty.

I honestly thought this was going to be an Armchair History video when I selected it.

How can the Chinese look at North Korea today and think they were the heroes of that conflict?

You know North Korea invaded the South?

The fact that you have internet, I assume it wasn't for the North Korean army.

Bang 4 Buck Are you arguing that North Korea has internet access?

Japan only roped America into the war as a result of America implementing an oil embargo to starve Imperial Japan's ability to wage war on China. Or as the CPC calls it "Western Imperialism"?

@lati long The US hasn't been a majority "Anglo" in over a hundred years, and the term is only used by anti-American conspiracy theorists who want to link the US with British imperialism. I have never in my life heard that America "attacked the wrong enemy" in WW2 , so your sources are complete nonsense. The closest to that narrative is the idea that the US was only allies with the Soviet Union as long as they had a common enemy.
