Reflection

The Korean War is an easy subject to understand. A war was fought because one country invaded another and the US got involved. What isn't apparent when the facts are known is how the people involved in the war felt. I found out while talking with my grandparents that the war was not heavily talked about. My grandma barely remembers the war. The war, they said, was very played down.

The Vietnam War is much different. They said that the Vietnam war was heavily publicized and criticized. The Korean War was just a war that was happening overseas. Nobody really thought about it too much. The only ones who thought about it were the ones who were drafted and their families. Otherwise, the war was not in the public eye.
