There are some forgotten conflicts and nearly forgotten heroes. The Korean War for example was a strange conflict - fought under UN auspices, it was (as history has now
shown), a fight between good or evil.
The end result, although a stalemate on
some levels, it left 50 million south Koreans to develop into a democratic highly
advanced industrial nation, whereas the communist north, has a population of
around 25 million, who are purged by starvation, and who live under hereditary
'communist' rulers. These rulers enjoy being worshipped as demi-gods. 50 million saved from this fate has to be deemed a success by any measure.
