The Korean War Ends

Time Magazine reported on the Korean War Armistice Agreement in August 1953, a week after its signing on July 27: “A correspondent asked a British officer whether the Commonwealth Division would celebrate with the traditional fireworks,” the author wrote. “‘No’, said the Briton, ‘there is nothing to celebrate. Both sides have lost.’”
The 1953 armistice ended hostilities, allowed POWs to decide if they would be repatriated, and established a 2.5-mile-wide demilitarized zone, known as the DMZ, a heavily defended border between the two nations.
Hopes that a formal peace treaty would be reached after the armistice never materialized. Normalized relations have not been restored, and US forces still maintain a presence in South Korea.
North Korea remains a hostile totalitarian state beset with famine, an economy in shambles, and condemnation from the majority of the world for human rights violations and a growing ballistic missile and nuclear weapons program.

And what did you achieve in your life fighting for some politicians

[@tnreprasentog7769]

You can really see the difference between Korea and Vietnam... The South Koreans actually wanted democracy ....the South Vietnamese didn't and it really shows

For some, the war never ended. For a nation, it's still going on. The casualty count is still rising when you consider the lives lost every day to starvation, execution, and torture by the North Korean regime.

I was stationed at Camp Bonifas from '92-93. We were at Panmunjom almost daily. It was amazing to be standing and looking at communist soldiers, literally feet away. Seeing this video makes me feel humbled to be there. Outstanding job!

You make it sound as you Yanks were the only ones there. The Australian Army was there too among others. The Battalion I served with, 3rd Battalion Royal Australian Regiment, has battle honours for the battle of Kapyong.

That’s what the west does. 🤣. And then each country has its own in mind. They also forget that there were many other countries involved in WW2 and Allie’s not just European

[@BullyMaguireShots]

If you want to see something about Australia how about searching for it? Instead of bitching to a creator for not including your country in a documentary that isn't about your country/battalion.

If you travel to Korea you can see the monuments built in every city to the foreign soldiers who helped South Korea in their time of need, there is a separate monument to each country, from Ethiopia and South Africa, to France and Belgium, to Australia and Columbia and many many more. Koreans do not forget, ever, those that helped them and those who tried to destroy them. They continue close ties with all of these countries today, still sending aid and assistance to Ethiopia (my wife told me about the Ethiopians in particular when I stumbled upon a 20 foot high statue of an Ethiopian soldier throwing a grenade). It's important to recognise all those who were willing to fight oppression and help, as South Koreans do.
"Han ~ an internalized and enduring feeling of deep sorrow, resentment, grief, regret, anger and rage. A uniquely Korean characteristic borne out of the country's 600 years of invasion, oppression, suffering and war."

The war is really not over!!!!!!it’s basically at a stalemate position between the 3 nation (N.Korea,S.Korea,and The United States

[@BullyMaguireShots]

@@michaelbell3939 Perhaps you should learn how to read? Because last time I checked "badass" isn't saying the war is over.

[@RelihionBaliktad]

Very good Uncle Sam will be always to the other side.

[@majcorbin]
