There are over 28,000 there right now and thousands have been there
since the war ended--actually, not technically. And yes, we won.
Before the war, North Korea was the industrial part of the country and
the South the agricultural part. Look at them today. Look at them at
night and see if you can even see North Korea. The aim of the war was
to remove the North Koreans from the South and that was achieved, so,
yes, it was most definitely a win. |
