The US was still recovering from WW2 when Korea erupted. This is part of the reason Korea is known as the "forgotten war", it has been overshadowed by WW2. There was less than 5 years of (peace) time between the Korean War and WW2.

Muhammad ali and the Vietnam war?

Muhammad Ali was the first person to openly speak to the public about his outrage of the war. His protests started in 1966 when he famously stated, "I ain't got no quarrel with the Vietcong. No Vietcong ever called me n_____." He lost everything (his boxing title and boxing competitions in the future!) as he refused the draft which was illegal during the Vietnam War. After him, the public started to speak their outrage to the war after watching Muhammad Ali declare his opinion. However, many of the public's opinion was based nearly entirely on the media. The media was often biased towards the journalist's opinion on the war.
