I found military records that had my dad fighting in WWII so I assume that to be true. As with all the old timers he never hardly talked about it but I do remember his purple heart from when he got shot in Korea? To the gist of the question; I was just reading an article that said WE annihilated North Korea during the "Police Action" But I remember my dad saying we got our ass kicked mostly by the chinese Because they didn't like the idea of a bunch of Americans running toward them fully armed. This was over fifty years ago so I could be way off in my memory. Anybody have any general info on the Korean war? Were the Chinese fighting in NK? I've read about their border being heavily protected during the war.
