I read years ago that the writers of the M*A*S*H TV show begin around middle of the series (maybe 4th or 5th season) used real world stats from MASH units in the Korean War when Hawkeye goes on his rants. I don't know how true that is.
It'd be interesting to hear what freedom living South Koreans today think of Alan Alda's political statements about the Korean War being a waste of lives and time.

The older generation really appreciated why we were there. Many of the younger generation understood it, too. If you could speak even a small amount of Korean correctly, you would be almost family to many. I should have tried harder to speak it better while I was there.

We persevered in South Korea and did not in Vietnam. Which country wound up the better for it?
