Korea is the first war I remember, since I was born in '46. Studied it some.

The diplomatic stuff, where the USA cut Korea out of the American defense area, ensuring in those Stalin days an invasion of the south by the Soviet surrogate PRK, the superior T34-85, etc., the wonderful Inchon landing, MacArthur's masterpiece -

Mostly, those lads in Korea ran fifteen years older than me, odd to see them get so old when I remain so young - (all around laughter...)

Morning Iris7.

Korea is a war that never really ended. We're paying for that today.

I've missed you around here.

Korea...another place I wish we would have been able to finish off.

You are young Iris7 :-)
