(31,965 posts)Far more died in that war than Korea. How about Vietnam? More died in Vietnam than Korea. Should those vets be pissed that American presidents travel there?

My Dad was a die-hard republican, hated Truman since Truman sent him to Korea, and my Dad called Korea a "shithole."
(Sound familiar?)
He defended Nixon until the tapes came out.
Now? He's probably be mad as hell at Trump.
