"No it was called a Police Action, and you can thank Harry @ss Truman for the defeat and loss of lives. He also gets credit for the survival of Mao."

Thanks, but I'll stick with "Korean War" - euphemisms and distinctions without difference just don't appeal to me. I'm aware there was no formal declaration of war.

I don't give Truman a pass over the outcome, but he didn't send 200,000 chinese troops into Korea, China did; so I still consider China to be ultimately responsible for the survival of the Norks, then and now.

Right did you know it was fought as a UN Police Action? A declaration of War changes a lot of rules, Harry bought into this cr@p.

Dougla MacCarthur, could have fixed it, but Harry was weak kneed. In fact Mac pulled of the impossible in spite of Harry's sad decision.

I saw a 13 part series of interviews with Harry after he moved back home, it was on a local station. He clearly feared Russia and possibly a Chinese Nuclear response, which they could not deliver. So I blame Harry for all of it including the rise of power by Stalin and Mao. At least to the point that he gave in to the demands of the Commie Roosevelt staffers that infected his administration.
