Rant all you want, Fact is these were not called wars. You said it yourself "UN police action" IT was made very clear to my dad that he was not in a war in Korea.

Same in Vietnam, sure felt like one. But politicans at the time called it something else. The fact that you think they were wars kind of sets you at odds with conservitives of the time. Suggest you ask them what planet they are on.

My son is very well aware that what he has been doing in Afganistan is NOT fighting a war also.
