the korean war: 60 years later

couldn't find a thread for the 'forgotten war' (tho america has about 10 of those), and it's the 60th anniversary of the armistice this week. here's what the prez had to say (and it's slightly revisionist, to say the least):

As we listen to the story of your service, I say let us also learn, because your lives hold lessons for us today. Korea taught us the perils when we fail to prepare. After the Second World War, a rapid drawdown left our troops underequipped, so that in the early days of Korea, their rockets literally bounced off enemy tanks. Today, as we end a decade of war and reorient our forces for the future, as we make hard choices at home, our allies and adversaries must know the United States of America will maintain the strongest military the world has ever known, bar none, always. That is what we do. (Applause.)

yaaaaaaaay! fuck yeah!!! YES!!
