When the territory was retaken later, the roads were found lined in places with the bodies of American soldiers who had obviously been taken prisoner. Their arms were tied behind their backs with barbed wire and they were all either shot in the head or bludgeoned to death to save the bullet.

When MacArthur executed the Inchon landing and took Seoul he outflanked the entire N. Korean army and sent them running back to the north. American forces drove them all the way across the Yalu River and into China and were ready to start mopping up. Then, one million Chinese "volunteers" crossed the border and drove the beleaguered Americans back to appropriately the exact line that exists today.

We weren't ready then. Not even close. We were lucky to have MacArthur and his amphibious skill to turn the tide. Then we had to fire him of course because he wanted to nuke the Chinese "volunteers" in order to save American lives.

We had nuclear weapons then. The Chinese and N Koreans had none. Now the Chinese have hundreds of them and the Koreans are beginning to stockpile.

The mindset is also very different. Then many Americans loved their country and were ready and willing to die for it. A lot has changed since then. Yes we are fighting two wars right now but neither of them together are causing near as many casualties as Korea.

Our wars now will look small compared to a war like we are discussing here. I say leave Iraq and Afghanistan. All we are doing there is propping up Islamic antichrist governments. Not one more American should die for them.

Strategically speaking these wars will have given us training and insight for bigger wars but we need as a nation to regroup and begin to rethink our future with N.Korea, China, and Russia.

However spiritually my thinking is that YHWH may well use them as his battle axe in judgment against America. We shall see.
