NATO and the UN, Lets stop the bleeding

[pmclaine]

I'm not sure of the details of how, but I believe the UN sent troops to fight in the Korean War. I also believe that was the first time we fought a war, refusing to call it an actual war and willing to accept something other than victory. That's pretty much what we've done since.

Yes as the US was forced into a toe hold in the Pusan Perimeter. The rescue force, mainly US was organized as a UN operation.

As we kicked the crap out of NK more countries joined in.

The eagerness to help/support faded when the Chinese came in on the side of NK.

I think the lack of victory somewhat can be blamed on our multi-national coalition method of war and also the Military Industrial Political Complex enjoying the contracts and kick backs that come from prolonged continual war.

Truman should have listened to Mac and used nukes.
