Somebody tell the Dems, who love to say

"The Iraq War has lasted longer than WWII."
"Iraq is a lost cause, just like Vietnam."

Thank heavens! We lost 3,000 Americans in the first 5 weeks in Korea.

We lost almost 14,000 Americans in the first 6 months in Korea.

We lost over 20,000 Americans in the first 12 months in Korea

By the time Truman left office (2 1/2 years after the "police action" in Korea began) 30,000 Americans had died.
