    Yeah, IIRC I wouldn’t say that was a war of defense but it was certainly defense of an ally. Yeah the US got blindsided, then MacArthur got it into his head that he could unite Korea and loads of American and allied soldiers died. From what I’ve read, it was a bad one. I’d highly recommend the coldest winter by David Halberstam for ppl who want to learn about this monumental fuck up.
