Re: Scope of subjects for KOREAN-WAR-L

Folks

I believe the interest in the Korean as well as Vietnam was due to the 
Government itself in a lot of ways

During the Second World War almost all the people, or all the people were 
involved in the War effort. There were food shortages. We were issued coupon 
books for gas. We in grade school were sent oout every week or so and 
collected paper for the effort. We also went around pulling a cart looking 
for scrape metal for the war effort. It was not sold but given as with the 
paper. All taken to school and turned in and the best class got an atta-boy.

I believe that when all the people are involved as We were then there is a 
whole different feeling about the War. There were no shortages of anything 
that I recall during the Korean War. Not like having to restrict your driving 
or go without meat to eat on certain days.

When everyone is pitching in a doing something there is a feeling of helping 
the effort instead of being a bystander. GABARIEL HEATER also helped  out
