Abstract

"It is part of the general pattern of misguided policy that our country is now geared to an arms economy which was bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and nurtured upon an incessant propaganda of fear " proclaimed General Douglas MacArthur on May 15, 1951 in a statement which echoes the politics induced by american involvement in the Korean War. The conflict was bred in the Cold War environment of the unknown and faced with one clear enemy ideology, but lacking a clear definition of enemy nations. korea played a definitive role in shaping the course of american foreign policy for the second half of the twentieth century. A new kind of war was birthed, wherein America desired to clearly define the terms of her involvement in a different kind of combat of limited warfare. Henceforth the nation proposed to participate only if the benefits could be clearly aligned alongside american policy.
