This one was supposed to come out tomorrow because I already published an essay Sunday, but I must have messed up somewhere. Anyway since we’re talking about Korea a lot with the hostilities ramping up around the DMZ I think it’s very timely that you get to read this piece ASAP!

    Thanks for reading! They mentioned it in my high school history classes as part of the Cold War, but we basically spent maybe two classes on it and then moved on as “nothing major happened”. The Battle at Chosin Reservoir wasn’t “minor” though. It’s still called the Forgotten War nowadays in the West because our involvement didn’t last very long compared to WW2 and Vietnam and it gets kinda sandwiched between the two. I doubt that for Koreans it was as silent as it is for us.
