Anyone else ever notice the Koreans never seem to discuss the Korean war?

It's like they blocked it out of their history... Too much pain?

My grandfather was in the navy and stationed here for a while. He also never once spoke about it, at least to me. The first I heard of him serving in the war was when I mentioned to my grandmother that I would be coming out here for the first time, three years ago.

Thanks for the link Blue Lake. Seeing those scenes in colour it's easy to feel "hey, I was there just yesterday"

They were shot in Kodachrome slide film. Kodachrome color doesn't shift over time, and the images are very sharp.

Too bad the caption to No. 10 is complete nonsense. If I shared it with some Koreans, I'm afraid they might actually believe that only 150,000 foreign servicemen fought in Korea. The state of journalism today is pathetic, including NBC/MSNBC.
