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. I totally agree with you. However, my point was that people may very well be mislead in the future when they read the 1970 census which enumerates veterans but not Korean veterans because it was not a "war".
