 * 1 ** - **You know historical quotes can bring old crusty things to like, so find one decent quote that helps add to the content of the Korean War (and provide some context for the quotes). For example ...**

//**"The attack upon Korea makes it plain beyond all doubt that Communism has passed beyond the use of subversion to conquer independent nations and will now use armed invasion and war."**// - President Harry S Truman in his speech describing the military involvement of the US in Korea, without a declaration of war from Congress.

"If there is any necessity for Congressional action, I will come to you. But I hope we can get those bandits in Korea suppressed without that."-President Harry S. Truman to members of Congress, June 30, 1950 he is saying that the battle in Korea should not be a big deal and their is no need for any major action to be done.
