How is the cold war a global conflict?
I think the Cold War went global because of technology. Advancement in communications, improved weaponry with longer ranges, as well as advancement in mass communications all contributed to the Cold War going global. That may or may not be the answer you were looking for, but it's a start. The Cold War was always global.... The Cold War itself was the struggle for global supremacy between the United States and the Soviet Union. Both superpowers tried to find allies to balance each other around the world. Balance of power politics have a long tradition. If one nation grew too powerful, a coalition of other nations would band together to prevent the one from getting too strong. A direct conflict between the two powers would have been unthinkable-nuclear weapons meant any large war would have been catastrophic. So, we changed the game-fighting proxy wars in various third world nations such as Korea and Vietnam, Angola, Guatemala, Cuba, and many other places.

Are Korean war veterans considered combat veterans?
The US VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) was established in 1899 by US Veterans of the Spanish-American War of 1898. The Spanish-American War of 1898 was the FIRST US war fought on foreign soil. Previous US wars had been fought on the North American Continent. The VFW is our "Oldest" existing Veterans Organization. GAR (Grand Army of the Republic) was our oldest veteran group, but died out when the last US Civil War Veteran died in the 20th Century. Korea is a foreign country. Therefore, it was a foreign war. US veterans of the Korean War can join the VFW. The last DECLARED WAR by the United States of America, WAS WORLD WAR TWO. The dawn of the ATOMIC AGE in August of 1945 has resulted in NO MORE DECLARED WARS; As a rule, declared wars USED to be total wars, and total wars can NO LONGER BE FOUGHT without risking "mutually assured destruction" by the use of nuclear weapons. Therefore, atomic age wars fought during the "Cold War" had to be fought as "Limited Wars" CONVENTIONAL weapons only; no nuclear weapons.
Why wasn't the Korean War successful?
The division of Korea was a temp
orary agreement between the U.S and the U.S.S.R after the second world war to keep a detanté between the rival nations. The North's Soviet influence, which wanted Korea to be unified under a communist regime, led by Kim Il-Sung opposed the South's democratic approach, with heavy influence from the U.S. The Korean War was a bloody, brutal war which at first, with the North's invasion, with help from China and the U.S.S.R, gained the majority of the South's territory, but with help from the U.S and their allies, the south then gained back control over their half while also capturing majority of the North. With all this the North gained control of their territory again to bring things back to square one, and to the division we have today. With millions dead and with nothing gained, I would have to say the Korean war was not a success.

Is North Korea 1 of 2 communist countries left?
Not quite, With North Korea straddled between China and the Soviet Union, Kim-Il-Sung often took a middle road between aligning himself with Marxist-Leninism or Maoism and over time North Korea has actually departed from both forms of mainstream Communism.
Before 1953, North Korea was heavily influenced by Stalinism and his Soviet benefactors. However, after Stalin was denounced as a counter-revolutionary, Kim Il Sung sided with China against the Soviet Union. Maoism did not work out for long for Kim, as the cultural revolution in China in 1967 was contradictory to Kim's wishes for stable dictatorship.
North Korea reestablished good relations with the Soviet Union under Brezhnev, who was a Neo-Stalinist, but Kim decided to keep both countries at an arms length by creating the Juche philosophy. Juche became Kim Il Sung's personal combination of extreme nationalism, militarism, totalitarian absolutism and godlike worship of Kim-Il-Sung himself. Kim eventually went against all communist tradition by promoting a divine monarchist philosophy which allowed Kim-Il-Sung to be succeeded by his son Kim-Jong-Il. Kim-Jong-Il has moved away from Communism even further, through his "Songun" or "Military First" policy, which states that the Korean Army is the driving force of the revolution.
The Songun policy blatantly contradicts all previous ideas of Marxism which state the the working class are the driving force of the revolution. As Kim-Jong-Il prepares to be succeeded by the third "Immortal Sun of Juche" of the Kim Dynasty, he has made altercations to the countries' constitution that remove all references to Communism as the state ideology.
