Passing the Korean War monument on the way to work, I saw a large contingent of tourists who looked.....Korean. What would be their impression of this sculpture display of American troops in ponchos fighting in the rain? Assuming they're South Koreans, I'll bet they'd be appreciative. Probably more than Americans. Funny thing, I discussed this war last night with a friend, who said we had won what I had always thought of as a stalemate. The North invaded, we helped the South fight back, and the borders remained essentially what they were at the beginning. That's more than we can say about Vietnam and Iraq.
