It was an undeclared war.
no, it was declared a 'police action'
The M1 Garand is a semi-automatic rifle that uses a gas-operated mechanism to cycle its action. When a round is fired, gas from the fired cartridge is diverted through a port in the barrel, driving a piston that operates the bolt to eject the spent casing and chamber a new round from the eight-round en-bloc clip. This design allows for faster follow-up shots compared to bolt-action rifles. The M1 Garand was notable for its reliability and accuracy, becoming the standard issue rifle for the U.S. military during World War II and the Korean War.
The Korean War, also known as The Police Action in Korea, or The Korean Conflict. Make no mistake, it was a war. 1950-1953
about 33,000 killed in action
it was considered a 'POLICE ACTION'
The Korean War was called a police action because "their was no declaration of war"; and People (Truman) didn't know what else to call it. The American Civil War (aka US Civil War) was also a Police Action according to the same definition which defined the Korean War; Since the US Civil War was not a declared war.
The korean 'war', if officially considered a war, as opposed to a 'police action', would predate the vietnam war, which has also been referred to as a 'conflict'. Semantics aside, u.s. 'involvement' in korea predated u.s. 'involvement' in vietnam.
