President Truman fired General Douglas MacArthur for insubordination during the Korean Conflict.  \n\nThe General wished to wage all-out war against the North Korean/communist forces.  President Truman was unable and unwilling to support and authorize such a tactic.  He, therefore, terminated General MacArthur's command of the US forces in Korea.

The US didn't act unilaterally in Korea... there were other countries involved in the fighting and dying there.\n\nThe UK lost 710 KIA\nTurkey 717 KIA\nAstralia 291 KIA\nCanada 309 KIA\nFrance 288 KIA... and there were others as well... even some Ethiopians.\n\nThe Bosian war really does not fit well with the other conflicts mentioned... come to think of it, neither does Somolia.\n\nIn Bosnia we came in really to settle the matter.  The countries had been fighting for a couple of years at that point and when the US came it, it was really signaled the end of the conflict.  When the US entered Korea and Vietnam, it was really just the begining.\n\nThere was no central government in Ethiopia.\n\nThe US did not play the agressor role in Korea... North Korea did.  The US did not play the agressor role in Somalia... there was no governemnt and it was maily a humanitarian mission.

Do you mean what was the age of men that fought in the Korean war?  My dad was there, he went to Korea when I was 3 and I am 48 now.  He is 75  now.  You figure it out--- \nChinese dude almost killed him, his buddy saved him.  He was naked at the time, or so he said.  He went to Viet Nam twice.  He retired as a  Marine Colonel.

Your question makes very little sense.\n\nKorea separated alontg the 38th parallel into the communist north and the democratic south.  The Korean War began when the north invaded the south, taking almost the entire peninsula.  The Americans joined in and helped the south Koreans push the north back almost to the Chinese border, when Chinese and Soviet forces aided the north Koreans and pushed the front back to the center of the peninsula, where the demilitarized zone lies today.\n\nSo, North Korea existed (briefly) before the Korean War began, if that's what you're asking.

The war in Korea. Today 50 years later Korea is still a country divided and the Communist North is the largest threat to nuclear war in the world today.\nThe war in Vietnam. Before the war only North Vietnam was Communist. Today 40 years later all of Vietnam is under Communist rule.\n(For those that say these were not wars but only police actions, tell that to the tens of thousands of troops that died there)\nAlthough you didn't ask the next war the USA will lose is the war in Iraq.

yes, increased violence in Korea, and i think that Japan had also taken over parts of Korea, which would make the Koreans resentful of the Japanese. Once the Pacific front became active in WWII, the Koreans then had the opportunity to turn against the Japanese living in Korea. I also believe (sorry it's been awhile since i read this book) that the family was in Korea because Mr. Kawashima was in the Japanese military and so they were living on a naval base. This fact, plus their heritage, would make them prime targets for the Koreans. This is the more historical view of the situation, but i hope it helps!

I would try the moving pictures branch at the National Archives.  They have all the footage taken by government agencies and newsreels made during the war.\nThe archives also has all correpsondence relating to POW's in its collection.  \nThe historical records of the 1st cavalry records for the Korean War are in the collection of the National Archives too.  I have examined them for the period that you mentioned.  Send me a P/M and I will try and get copies to you.  I have a relative that was in company E, 8th Cavalry and is MIA since 3 September 1950.
