Why is the Korean War known as the forgotten war?
The Korean War is America’s forgotten war. If people under the age of 30 have any knowledge of this “police action” at all, it probably comes from watching reruns of MASH. Nestled snugly between the last good war, World War II, and that twelve year nightmare known as Vietnam, the Korean War is mostly forgotten because, well, nothing at all was accomplished. We didn’t win it, we didn’t lose it, and the situation on the Korean peninsula is pretty much the same now, over fifty years later, as it was when we first sent troops there.
