Moderate Antiwar Activist I am writing this letter to throw my weight behind the antiwar activism going on at the university and around the country. It is entrenched in our constitution that it is our basic right to protest and there could be no better time to exercise that right than in the current situation considering the irresponsible move by our government to send troops to Vietnam.

The Korean War, though has been in the dark for a while, had a significant impact on modern warfare and strategy. Allen Millett touches on the historical significance of the Korean War in “Introduction to the Korean War.” The Korean War brought new challenges and strategies for the Americans.

As 1945 drew to a close, the fate of the Korean nation hung in the balance. For over one thousand years, the Korean Peninsula had been united under several states; and the last government of a united Korea, the People’s Republic of Korea, was under fire.

However, after one takes a deeper look, one will see that there are many reasons for North Korea’s erratic behaviour.
