	Korean War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In North Korea it is formally called the "Fatherland Liberation War." In the United States, the conflict was termed a police action, as the Korean Conflict, under the aegis of the United Nations rather than a war, largely in order to remove the necessity of a Congressional declaration of war.
		Seoul was captured by the North Koreans on the afternoon of June 28, but the North Koreans had not accomplished their goal of a quick surrender by the Rhee government and the disintegration of the South Korean Army.
		The Korean War Veterans Memorial was built in Washington, D.C. and dedicated to veterans of the war on July 27, 1995.

	Police action - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A police action in military/security studies and international relations, is a military action undertaken without a formal declaration of war, often localized in scope.
		Since the Second World War, numerous police actions have taken place under the auspices of the major-power nations; indeed, a declared war is an increasing rarity.
		The term is frequently used in reference to certain 20th-century historical events: the military actions of the Netherlands, Britain, and other allies during the Indonesian National Revolution (1945-1949), the Malayan Emergency (1948-1960), and the Operation Polo (1948) annexation of Hyderabad State by India.

	Korean War Veterans Memorial (National Park Service)
		At war's end, a million and a half American veterans returned to a peacetime world of families, homes, and jobs - and to a country long reluctant to view the Korean War as something to memorialize.
		But to the men and women who served, the Korean War could never be a forgotten war.
		The Korean War Veterans Memorial honors those Americans who answered the call, those who worked and fought under the trying of circumstances, and those who gave their lives for the cause of freedom.

	Modern History Sourcebook: Report of The United Nations Commission on Korea, 1950
		The invasion of the territory of the Republic of Korea by the armed forces of the North Korean authorities, which began on June 25, 1950, was an act of aggression initiated without warning and without provocation, in execution of a carefully prepared plan.
		As the methods used for undermining the Republic from within proved unsuccessful, the North Korean authorities launched an invasion of the territory of the Republic of Korea.
		After the consolidation of the division of Korea, propaganda and hostile activities on the part of the North Korean authorities accentuated tension which, in turn, stiffened the attitude of the Government and people of the Republic of Korea, and even further prejudiced such possibility, of unification by negotiation as might have remained.

	The American PSYOP Organization during the Korean War
		However, during the Korean War, control of PSYOP operations evolved continually and with various lines of responsibility as the Army adopted ad hoc tactics to cope with its lack of preparedness.
		One mission covered North Korean Army V Corps units in a 60 square-mile area north of Wonju and was made in conjunction with the dissemination of anti-morale leaflets 8011.The second mission covered three areas northeast of Andong with instructions concerning a safe route to be used in surrendering.

	Armed Forces Oral Histories—Korean War Studies and After-Action Reports
		The Korean "police action" undertaken with UN sanction and unwarranted optimism would cost more than 150,000 U.S. military casualties in the next three years, along with millions of civilian casualties, billions of dollars, and the desolation of much of the Korean peninsula.
		An unpopular war at home as it dragged on, the Korean War became an experience from which the military could learn much that might be helpful in military training and that could be useful to historians.
		Others—the studies—reviewed broad aspects of the war effort and thus were not limited to the actions of a particular unit.

		The Korean War Memorial in Washington, DC, was not built until 1995, 13 years after the Vietnam War Memorial was dedicated in 1982 and 42 years after the ending of the Korean War in 1953.

	Police Action
		To get around the necessity of asking Congress to declare war, President Truman called it a "police action." It was fought under the auspices of the United Nations, with the United States acting as the UN's executive agent.
		Because of UN airstrikes, about a third of the North Korean force and some 450 of the tanks that crossed the 38th parallel on June 25 never went home again.
		By the end of July, FEAF had reduced the North Korean air force to 18 airplanes.

		The President's decision to initiate the Korean "police action" without obtaining congressional approval played a key role in his declining political support once the war entered a stalemate.
		Unlike the origins of the Cold War, on the question of militarization, the dispute largely centers on the important event rather than the key motivation.
		Most conventional accounts point to the onset of the Korean War as the time when the Cold War became hot.

		The 213th Field Artillery Battalion stayed on active duty in Korea until the armistice in 1953 and was finally returned to state control and the Utah National Guard on 29 October 1954, bringing home its battle streamers.

		Though some insist it should be referred to as the "Korean Conflict" or a police action because the participants never officially declared "war," there are few veterans who would disagree that the fighting in Korea between 1950 and 1953 was as bitter as any war.
		The Korean conflict saw the first large-scale usage of helicopters for evacuating wounded from the battlefield.
		Three of the Navy corpsmen carrying the stretcher are Herald B. Williams of Fresno, California; James E. Carr of Lakewood Village, California; and William N. Skipwith of Birmingham, Alabama; the fourth corpsman and the wounded man are unidentified.

	The Washington Note: Comment on HANS BAERWALD AND THE PURGE OF JAPANESE LEADERS
		For all the comparisons to post-war Japan and Vietnam's 'War Against the Americans to Save the Nation', I think the Korean police action is a better analogy.
		I had not thought about the Korean police action and agree that it may be a better historical metaphor regarding military action.
		Regardless of whether those actions were extremely foresighted or just the result of good luck, they laid the foundation for Japan's revival as a nation and its ascendance as an economic superpower.

		My dad, for example, served as a hospital orderly during the Korean Police Action), they came up with a little test to make sure that the people who opted for C.O. status were indeed acting on deeply-held (read: religious) beliefs and not just yellow-bellied.
		Aside from giving preferential consideration to members of certain religious sects with avowed pacifistic beliefs, there was a questionnaire that all applicants had to complete.
		I guess those of us of a "morally cowardly" or "ideologically simpleton"-ish bent who believe that violence is the last resort of the incompetent and no way for grown-up nations to settle their property disputes are supposed to throw up our hands at this ironclad logic and proclaim "You're right.
