The Korean War started in the late 1940’s, in 1948, I believe. The following statement is therefore bogus:
“In the few short years from the beginning of WWII to Korea, a terrifying problem of adult illiteracy had appeared. The Korean War group received most of its schooling in the 1940s,..”
Korea War 1950-53.
Yeah, men were in school in the 40’s.

It seems you back up what Gatto said....it started in ‘48....who enlists...YOUNG people...therefore they would have been educated in the 40’s...right?? (some part of the 30’s i suppose.)
Korean War began in late June, 1950.

The Korean Veteran would have been inducted in the early 1950's right after high school. He would have received 10 out of 12 years of schooling in the 1940's. The statement is absolutely true.
The Korean war was from 1950 to 1953. When did the majority of the footsoldiers get their education if not during the 1940’s?
The Korean War broke out on June 25, 1950, with a massive multi-front attack by the North Korean Army across the 38th parallel.....
