The Korean War lasted from June 1950 to July 1953.
"The Korean War finally ended in July 1953. Left in its wake were four million military and civilian casualties, including 33,600 American, 16,000 UN allied, 415,000 South Korean, and 520,000 North Korean dead. There were also an estimated 900,000 Chinese casualties. Half of Korea's industry was destroyed and a third of all homes." (Korean War online)
Does anyone really believe we could have beaten China in a land war in their own back yard without using nukes?
Truman a wuss? The only man in the world ever to okay the use of nuclear weapons.
