The US was still recovering from WW2 when Korea erupted. This is part of the reason Korea is known as the "forgotten war", it has been overshadowed by WW2. There was less than 5 years of (peace) time between the Korean War and WW2.

∙ 12y agoNow? or in 1953?
Most Americans don't realize that there is still a war going on! They think Koreans are on the brink of another Korean war.
However, the vast majority of Americans just don't know. they don't know what to think about it because they don't fully understand the situation.
i would say that the public opinion is that "Kim Jong-il is bad and he should be stopped" but that is as far is it goes, because no one knows how or when it would even be possible without massive casualties in the south.
also most peeps think that kim is his first name :P

Muhammad ali and the Vietnam war?
Muhammad Ali was the first person to openly speak to the public about his outrage of the war. His protests started in 1966 when he famously stated, "I ain't got no quarrel with the Vietcong. No Vietcong ever called me n_____." He lost everything (his boxing title and boxing competitions in the future!) as he refused the draft which was illegal during the Vietnam War. After him, the public started to speak their outrage to the war after watching Muhammad Ali declare his opinion. However, many of the public's opinion was based nearly entirely on the media. The media was often biased towards the journalist's opinion on the war.
