As a Korean War veteran, I know firsthand and understand the sacrifices made by our men and women in uniform.

I am a Korean War veteran. I support our troops as much as anyone in this body, but I do so by advocating redeployment out of Iraq as soon as it can be safely done.

The Korean war has always been an unpopular war among the American people.

Past records of inter-Korean relations show that confrontation between fellow countrymen leads to nothing but war.

Unlike the Afghans and Iraqis, the South Korean people solidly supported the American military presence, which was part of a United Nations operation.

So South Korean ability is very much limited to handle North Korean, you know, difficulties. So we don't want to see an immediate collapse of the North Korea regime.

The Korean War has also show quite clearly that in a major conflict manpower is as important as horsepower.

Since the Korean War, U.S. and South Korea have established an enduring friendship with shared interests, such as denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula, combating aggression abroad and developing our economies.

Up until the end of the Bush Administration, there was indifference to the North Korean suffering under Kim Jong-Il.

I'm sure it is, I'm not for any kind of war, we've been engaged in several wars since the second world war and we lost in Korea, we lost in Vietnam, they are political wars, they have nothing to do with any real threat, nor does this one.
