A veteran is considered anyone that has served in the armed forces. Anyone that came back from Korea would have been a Veteran of the Korean War. Once one has received a discharge from the armed forces, they are a veteran.
Hantaviruses were initially associated with soldiers who fought in the Korean war. The virus was carried and transmitted by rodents who resided in the wild grasses in Korea.
First of all, where did you get the idea that most people don't like veterans? If we didn't have soldiers that fought in wars, we wouldn't even be here right now?
Although helicopters had been invented prior to the Korean War; helicopters were widely used for the first time during the Korean War.
AnswerDeliberately setting aside the controversies of the war, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial honors the men and women who served when their Nation called upon them. The designer, Maya Lin, felt that "the politics had eclipsed the veterans, their service and their lives."

I never heard of korean soldiers being paid in US script......in 1951 US scrip (not script) was used in the Korean War to pay soldiers, and it was the currency at the bases. I know this because my father was a clerk for the first month of his service there and would run between 75,000 to 100,000 dollars worth of scrip from his base to an Air Force Base. From there it would be eventually transferred to Japan and back to the States.

Lincoln was assassinated when the war was just ended; he had no time to tend to the business of veterans...he was fighting the war. However, the US Civil War (1861-1865) did create one of the first "Soldiers Homes" for veterans, along with one of the nations first veterans groups...GAR (Grand Army of the Republic), which died out in the 1930's with most of the Civil War vets. The VFW is our nations oldest vet groups now, created in 1899 by Spanish-American War veterans (the Spanish-American war of 1898 was the US's FIRST foreign war).
