Are Korean veterans correct when they say we won the Korean war?

The United States did not achieve the objective of creating a unified pro-United States Korean Peninsula. However, that was not the intent of the United Nations mission to North Korea in 1950. The point of that mission was to repel the North Korean invasion of South Korea. The North's invasion was successfully repelled. So, the United Nations objective was met. So the war was won from that perspective.It is important to note that officially, the Korean War ended with an armistice in 1953. This is not a final resolution, but an interim resolution. As a result, the war between North Korea and South Korea still continues de jure.
