“The US dropped more bombs on North Korea than it had dropped in the entire Pacific theater during World War II,” Fisher goes on to explain.” This carpet bombing, which included 32,000 tons of napalm, often deliberately targeted civilian as well as military targets, devastating the country far beyond what was necessary to fight the war. Whole cities were destroyed, with many thousands of innocent civilians killed and many more left homeless and hungry.”

And yet North Korea and then China held the U. S. at bay, until a cease-fire was agreed to.

Strange the total destruction of the North, and yet we didn't walk in and claim victory.

Nut jobs one and all...

Half the nation, the fellow patriots of those slaughtered if you will, in the South are still our best friends to this day.

Forgot to mention that. There is a large Christian presence there.

Eisenhower brought about the cease fire by using the threat of nuclear weapons use and the negotiating table at Panmunjom to squeeze a deal out of the Communists.

The Norks learned from that and use those tactics now making threats, calling for negotiations and developing nukes to make their threats more credible......

As I recall McArthur wanted to take the war into N.Korea after Inchon but Truman was concerned with China and backed away. History has yet to define who was correct as to US interests.
