Is it really dramatic? Then just put it in the main feed.
Is it chuddy? (Be honest.) Then /h/chudrama.
Is it from back in old boomer times or before?
This is the place for it.
Feel free to talk about history here at
whatever level of seriousness you feel like.

Wasn't that bad. But NK as an imperial enemy invading the US is just kinda wacky no matter how you slice it

I don't really care for the actual Korean war, but my wife introduced me to the TV show M.A.S.H. recently and I've been really enjoying watching that.

Due to this show I have the unshakeable belief that the Korean countryside looks exactly like the hills outside of LA.

I haven't watched it much, but my dad described it as "What people who never went to Vietnam imagine they would have been like in Vietnam" and that was the most hard-hitting denunciation of a TV show that I'll ever hear in my life.
I do appreciate though that Alan Alda went on Futurama(?) where he was robot, and on his back he had a switch between "slapstick" and "maudlin". I guess he's at least self-aware.

Early MASH seasons with Trapper,Frank Burns, and lots of sexual harassment of Hot Lips Hooligan were pretty comfy.
It only got really sappy and insufferable later on

Things were fricked up because in the late 1940s everyone was thinking about nuclear weapons and how they would change everything. A common problem: They were planning to fight the next war when really they should have been planning how to fight the last war but better. So the Air Force was in relatively good shape but the Army was neglected as they wouldn't have much use in a nuclear war.
There was all the normal confusion of suffering a huge surprise attack and not knowing wtf is going on. But beyond that, there were very few people in the world who spoke both Korean and English. So if the Americans wanted to talk to the South Korean troops or civilians they had to have a Japanese-American talk to them in Japanese. Everything had to be translated twice and the Americans and Koreans probably weren't completely fluent in Japanese to begin with.

The Japanese colonization of Korea and the spread of the Japanese language is a surprise tool that will come in handy later

But that's what they were doing. Planning for WW3. For how to fight WW2 but better (this time with nukes). Everybody was fixated on survival in the face of a total war.
I don't think it really occurred to military planners at the time that there would be a "small-scale" war (compared to WW2) where it was diplomatically impossible to use nuclear weapons.

Whoever wishes to foresee the future must consult the past; for human events ever resemble those of preceding times. This arises from the fact that they are produced by men who ever have been, and ever shall be, animated by the same passions, and thus they necessarily have the same results.
