This is probably getting a little off topic here and I'll drop it.  But I'm
very familiar with US military history.  True, it is technically called the
Korean Conflict only because the US never declared war.  Instead it was
fought under the auspices of the United Nations.  But when over 50,000 US
soldiers were killed and over 100,000 injured, most people have a hard time
calling it anything other than a war.
