The ONLY real differences between the two wars was:

1. Geography (Korea was on a peninsula; which made things alot easier).

2. Different decades and languages.

3. Korea was LARGELY fought with left over WWII equipment (weapons, M1 Garand rifle as one example).

4. The Korean War was far more intense than Vietnam (higher casualties in a shorter time period).

5. Korea was cold and full of snow; Vietnam was hot and tropical.

6. Communists were stopped in Korea; they won in Vietnam.

7. Korea didn't have the anti-war movement; because it only lasted 3 yrs. Just about the same amount of time as WWII did for the US.
