I’m sure that’s comforting to the families of the 37,000 Americans who fell in the Korean Campaign.

Probably not. Hopefully it's more comforting to the 300,000 Americans who survived - if the French and Americans hadn't stopped the Chinese Army at Chipyong-ni, allied forces would likely have been knocked into the sea which would have been the greatest military disaster in American history. You can't blame the French for Truman's decision to intervene in Korea, for the Chinese invasion or other stuff - but we have to be grateful for their heroism while surrounded by a vastly superior force because that saved an entire US Army.
