It's crazy how little cultural impact the Korean War had. Even M*A*S*H, set in Korea, was actually just a commentary on Vietnam.
>>65314664It was right between WW2 and the much more culturally controversial Vietnam War. Korea could have turned into Vietnam if they introduced a draft and stuck around for another 10 years.
>Silent Generation>even their own war is basically irrelevant
>north takes seoul>south takes seoul and pyonyang>north takes pyonyang and seoul>south takes seoul>armisticewhat a pointless war. just imagine if the south hadn't given up pyonyang. we should have nuked the chinks.

>>65314664GWOT will be the same, I suspect. There weren't actually that many movies about it, and I've got a feeling that in the eyes of future generations, things like lone survivor and American sniper wont have nearly the same pathos or gravitas as they did for people who lived in the time they depicted. Games have already moved on, COD hasn't been set in not-Iraq in over a decade; and it doesn't seem to me that very young people have any interest in it compared to how every airsofting 12 year old in 2011 wanted to be a navy seal with the googly night vision goggles.
Korean War was just a WW2 DLC expansion
>>65314853just imagine if no one intervened at all. the south were just as cringe as the north at the time. we don't know what would have happened if they combined.
>>65315111>if no one intervened at allit would have been annexed by puccians, they dreamed of warm-water port in pacific ever since they got there
>>65314664It created two of the biggest meme countries in the world: a hermit kingdom and a discount Japan.
>>65314664Like the other anon said, relatively quick war awkwardly sandwiched between two of the most culturally significant wars in US history
>>65314874>There weren't actually that many movies about itYes, there were, you are wrong.
