[QUOTE="WoodsCraft, post: 3923508, member: 51836"] Since 1953 the US has maintained a sizable presence in the South and on the DMZ. We are far from gone in Korea and the war is still in progress, there is only a cease fire . I and many others have served in South Korea in the years since the cease fire was signed . Factually speaking both sides still are firing shots on an infrequent basis. There have been numerous incidents involving US troops as well as ROK troops over the years . I can't say we were forced out of Korea but I can also can't say we won either . We could have maintained South Vietnam just like we've done South Korea but I assure you we would still be there on the DMZ just like South Korea , the difference being there was an indigenous insurgency we didn't have to deal with in South Korea. For those who don't know about these incidents take a watch they are very interesting tidbits of history [MEDIA=youtube]8MsjZ-qcamw[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=youtube]3hpFsKqaIuc[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
