Re: Why so many American military defeats/humiliations since 1945?
58,000 Americans were killed in vietnam but they also killed over 3,000,000 VC, NVA troops…
US forces were indeed chased back to the 38th parallel by Chinese and NK forces and indeed they even took Seoul.. But USA fought back and chases the chinese all the way back to the 38th paralle. China had lost over 1,000,000 men in this war and over 2,000,000 were wounded. China simply did not have any more trained men to fight in Korea. Russia, who was giving weapons to China and NK wanted the war to end since the biggest backer of the war, Stalin, had died. So the war ended.
As for casualties:
37,000 Americans died, 1,000,000 Chinese died, 3,000,000 Koreans died.
Please don’t challenge me on history…
