Korean War veterans experienced a different reception compared to veterans of other conflicts, largely due to the war being often referred to as the "Forgotten War." Unlike Vietnam veterans, who faced significant public backlash and protests, Korean War veterans returned to a nation that was largely indifferent, as the war was overshadowed by World War II’s legacy and the subsequent Vietnam War. Additionally, the lack of a clear victory or resolution in Korea contributed to the muted public recognition and appreciation for their service. As a result, many Korean War veterans felt overlooked and underappreciated for their sacrifices.
MANY of the Korean War veterans were WW2 veterans. WW2 veterans had fought a war to win; using any available weapon, including the use of atomic bombs. NOT using the atomic bomb to defeat communist forces confused these WW2 veterans. LIMITED WARS (No nuclear weapons) was new to them.

I am a retired public school administrator and have been an active supporter of Mr. Obama; as a member of the the Korean War Association and Army veteran of the Korean Conflict(I was a 60 mm mortarman with C company, 9th Regiment, 2nd Division)I felt deeply disappointed when the President spoke of the world War 2 veterans,Vietnam veterans and veterans of the Iraq and Afganistan War, but nary a word about the multitude of casualties of the Korean War. Shame on him!
