104: No Gun Ri

Episode 104: Some call it "The Forgotten War," and they definitely have a point- the Korean War has not been memorialized in the American memory, it had neither the scale of World War II, nor the cultural impact of Vietnam. Make no mistake: brutal, horrifying, and influential, the Korean War is more important than you know. This episode takes a look at the history of the Korean Conflict, and how America's heinous war crimes helped shape a century of foreign policy.
