The Forgotten War (Clay Blair)

This Kind of War　(TR Fehrenbach)

The Korean War ended inconclusively on 27 July 1953. Not until long afterward was it even dignified by the name of war --- the governmental euphemism was Korean conflict --- and it rapidly became the most forgotten war in American history. There was little in it, from near-disastrous beginning to honorable but frustrating end, that appealed to American sensibilities. Because they cannot look back on it with any sense of satisfaction, or even the haunted pride that a defeated nation sometimes finds, Americans prefer not to look back at all.

The Red Chinese, impervious to human loss and suffering, gloried in their sudden leap to large-power status --- for by defying the United Nations, and holding the Western armies in check, they became a great power in the East. They learned many of lessons of modern ground warfare, and proved that Chinese armies could perform creditably in the field.

朝鲜战争停战，我方要价和最终结果：

简单的讲，我方的要价（不仅仅指官方桌面上的）包括台湾，联合国席位，和美国从朝鲜撤军，其他的当然也有，如战俘遣返，但是没有前面的几个重要。美国的政府，军方和议员对这些问题都有很深入的讨论，当时的媒体里对这些也都有报道。

而最后的结果大家也都知道。

美国同意停战，实际上只承认了一点，就是以双方实际的战场位置划分朝鲜，其他的，一概没有买帐。
