Korean war is the topic

Question

Ok.. u know, students fought and died in the Korean War.

but i cant find anything about that topic when i resaerch it. can anyone tell me anything about that topic? bout the students? (student soldiers)

Answer 1

What kind of students?

Answer 2

The koreans, or the americans?

I mean, I probably think that koreans did have students that fought, but America didn't. They had college students that fought in the Korean war, but most were WWII vets.

Answer 3

David Halberstam's last book was on the Korean War.

That might be an easy starting point for your research.

Answer 4

My dad fought in Korea.  He was a young man. 19, 20 years old.  He didn't say exactly how he got rounded up to join, but his brother ran back to Canada.  I don't know exactly what happened except during his leave and a few fights he had with other soldiers.  The only times he talked about combat was when he was drunk.  It seemed to be about alot of screaming and people getting shot by machine guns.  Chinese reaching their lines in surprise night attacks.  And bayonet fighting.
