"Historically accurate? Unfortunately, yes. Appropriate? No. Those Americans probably did not like the idea of being policemen and cannon fodder for the UN bureaucrats."

“In the Korean War era, the UN was viewed differently than today. You cannot judge the actions of a preceding generation with the memes of the current one.”

I read an old American Legion magazine, probably about 1960, and it had an article about Americans fighting in the Korean War under the UN flag. That was just one of the things about the Korean War the writer was very critical of.
