Korean War


I can barely remember this although a cousin of mine, Nick Ourth, fought in it. He later forgot all about it. 

In the Sixties, I was a follower of a Korean Buddhist teacher and bowed down to him every morning. There was even a Buddhist teacher in the US during the Vietnam War. There were (and still are) many Buddist organizations in Los Angeles. 

I knew nothing of the events described in this article. Americans have been in wars in Asia for a long time, without knowing who they were fighting.
