Obama recently addressed a group of Korean War veterans and told them that the war was not a tie but a solid "win", comparing the prosperity of the South to the isolated North. This is nonsense. The US and Allies lost all territorial gains and were pushed back to the starting point, failed to use the A-bomb on the North as MacArthur (Supreme Commander) suggested, and failed to liberate the North from Communism- the primary objective. The first Cold War war ended in Communist victory and made the North's people suffer inhuman treatment for decades as N Korea is isolated. S Korea's democracy and economic prosperity is good but the two Koreas are still split and a state of war still exists not to mention the dreaded DMZ and threats of Kim Jong Un.

* tell that to the S Korean people that have never heard of the fates of their family members trapped in the North and the hundreds of thousands that died in the war as Koreans.
