Korean War 1950-1953 - The Cold War DOCUMENTARY

That feeling when youtubers with some computers and a camera can blow away whatever documentary Netflix or the History Channel could produce

It really makes me sad how the veterans that fought in Korea were essentially forgotten even more so than Vietnam vets

My late neighbor was a Korean War vet. He was a good man, he and his wife Jean always bought my siblings and me gifts and would even babysit us from to time because they loved having us over now that their own kids were all grown up. I remember he drove a big, funny-looking brown van he was always working on. He was like another grandfather to me. I only found out about his service after he passed and Jean gifted me his old books, some of which were on the Korean War. Rest in peace Don Hollyfield.

It's ashame this war has mostly been forgotten because of it being sandwiches in between WW2 & Vietnam. My father fought in this war, and I couldn't never get him to talk about it, he always said it's best to leave it alone.

My Tio Raul fought in this war. He was wounded and sent home. I forget the name of the battle he was in. He died just this last week in his sleep at his home. He was 92 years old. RIP Tio.

My Mother's father was a Captain piloting a Mustang that took AAA fire that damaged his engine. He crash landed on a hill and was unable to be recovered due to high levels of hostiles in the area. He was never recovered and my grandmother held hope until she saw his name at the punchbowl in HI. R.I.P. Capt. Matusz I have always been amazed at the overall loss of life in the Korean conflict. Almost the same loss of US troops as Vietnam , but in a third of the time. Thanks to all who served.

My grandfather also participated in that war. He died 10 years ago. I remember he told me when I was a child that the Chinese who went to Korea at that time went with the determination to die.

Chinese: Okay we need to name our offensive a cool name U.N. : H O M E B Y C H R I S T M A S O F F E N S I V E

My Great-Uncle was part of the 25th ID, 27th Infantry Regiment. He was taken by hostile fire on the morning of Sept. 13th at Chindong-Ni as part of the Pusan Pocket defense. While the war may be "Forgotten" he won't be so long as I am alive. He was only 19. His memory has been extremely important to me and has encouraged me to live up to his courage. One of the few things the family got back was the blood stained bible that he apparently had in his breast pocket when he was killed. James Edgar Taylor, you are not and will not be forgotten.

As a Korean I can't say thank you enough to Veterans who helped South Korea! 😭Can't believe They call it 'the forgotten war'! we call it 6.25 war and we always remember how the world came into a poor country of south Korea for a good cause!! ❤💙 🤍🖤 Thank you SO MUCH for your services!!! ✊✊✊✊

My grandpa served in Korean War, as part of one of the only 2 UNC forces who weren't beaten badly and the only one who held the line against Chinese First Offensive, the 10th BCT of the PEFTOK. That contribution was so underrated, but fondly remembered by Koreans. Although K&G forgot that contribution, it is fine, because we know what my grandpa and fellow Filipino soldiers sacrificed themselves for freedom.

My father was in the US Air Force in this war. He survived but died at 39 years old in 1969. Thanks for the excellent history lesson!

I know a man that was in the 24th Infantry Division, the first into Korea in 1950. Today he is 92 years old.

"UN authorizes US forces to cross into North Korea" is the funniest sentence I've heard

I was stationed at Camp Stanley with the 6/37 FA from Sep ‘02 to Dec ‘03. I learned a lot about the war while there (even saw a defection, that was wild). In the south, the people refer to the war as “The Great Tragedy”, those that defected from the north were told in school that the war is referred to as “The Korean Liberation”.

Fun fact: Chinese Commander Peng slaped Kim il sung twice for his bad decisions.

Actually China underestimated North Korea’s attack on South Korea because the Soviet Union and North Korea never notified Mao. At that time, China was preparing to regain Taiwan and did not want to put its power on North Korea, but Stalin took the initiative to provoke a war on the Peninsula and changed the world situation. The United States also deployed the Seventh Fleet in the Taiwan Strait to stop China. The United States and the Soviet Union, at the same time, are reluctant to reunify China. This is their few consensus.

My great grandfather fought in Korea. He was one of the 1000 men from our country (Greece) that was drafted to fight. He was a great fighter with many medals for his bravery.

I grew up listening to my grandfather telling me stories about Vietnam. I was around 12-14 when this would happen. I was the only one he talked to about it, not even my grandmother. When he died his gravestone said Korea and Vietnam. I'm not sure if that was because he was in the Army during the Korean War, or if he actually served in Korea. I'm working on getting his service records. I have a hard time finding Korean War Documentaries, this was great.
