 Facts are facts.
    At 04:00 on Sunday morning, June 25,1950 the forces of North Korea attacked and entered the country of South Korea. Attacking by land, air and sea those forces advanced rapidly. 
   On Oct.15,1950 a F-51 Mustang fighter plane was shot down by anti-aircraft fire from from China. On Oct.26 a U.S. Army patrol captured a Chinese soldier. After a battle on November 1, U.S. Military intelligence confirmed that Chinese Army troops had taken part in the battle.  No announcement was made from either North Korea or China regarding volunteers assisting the North Korean forces. This led to serious discussion about China's intent.  The UN forces decided to not violate China's sovereignty. The Military head of UN forces in Korea was relieved of his position because he wanted to retaliate against China.
     Thousands of brave Chinese soldiers died to keep North Korea a Communist dictatorship. Thousands of brave UN troops died to keep South Korea free. Which country has an elected leadership? Which country has a thriving economy? Which country has cell phones? Which country allows it's citizens to travel to other countries?
     The U.S has lately reduced its presence in the South and China has moved troops to its North East to deal with a potential flood of refugees should the Kim Jong Il's regime collapse. No one has "won" the Korean war - yet. An armistice is in effect and neither side has surrendered or signed a peace accord.
