I served in the Army during the Korean war, and I know what it is like to be in the military during a war that became known as "the forgotten war." I blame the media for the lack of attention to the Afghanistan war.

A few weeks ago, I saw a documentary on CNN about the Korean War. There was a period in which America got tired of the war and it was eventually only the New York Times who made regular coverage of the war via its now historic "page 2 death notices".
Hi Lilith...Thanks for commenting. The Korean War was known as "the forgotten war." I recall when I retuned after two years in the Army and I went into a bar and a couple of guys asked me where I had been because they hadn't seen me in weeks. I just let it go. Not worth talking about.
