And then the Vietnam War made Taiwan. There is some truth to that  (Korean War Quotes) As you may recall, Truman was extremely unpopular when he finally left Washington in 1953, thanks largely to the Korean War. Today, however, he is thought to have been a solidly good president, a ‘Near Great’ even, in the terminology of those surveys of historians they do every now and then  (Korean War Quotes) I took Beetle home thinking that after the Korean War was over, I would have to take him out of the Army.
