So was Professor Turgeson....
Professor Terguson: You remember that thing we had about 30 years ago called the Korean conflict? And how we failed to achieve victory? How come we didn't cross the 38th parallel and push those rice-eaters back to the Great Wall of China? Then take the f....ing wall apart brick by brick and nuke them back into the f....ing stone age forever? Tell me why! How come? SAY IT!!! SAY IT!!!!!!
Thornton Melon: [incensed] All right. I'll say it. 'Cause Truman was too much of a *pussy wimp* to let MacArthur go in there and blow out those Commie bastards!
Professor Terguson: Good answer. Good answer. I like the way you think. I'm gonna be watching you.
Thornton Melon: Good teacher. He really seems to care. About what I have no idea.

We DID cross the 38th parallel and we DID drive the Norks north (those that survived) to the Yalu River, which was the border with China, and China sent in its forces. We were fighting the ChiComs at that point, as the Norks had ceased to be a factor.
