decimation: my great uncle died on the dmz during the pointless dicking around known as 'peace talks'
decimation: the reason the korean war is the 'forgotten war' is that the brave new 'united nations' (wwii allies) were supposed to act in harmony and peace to prevent that kind of clusterfuck
decimation: but the actual history of that actual conflict was to demonstrate how the un shit itself in bed
