Attitudes toward the Korean War



As a small example:  In Spring 1952, 4,585 male college students at 11 universities were surveyed.  Sixty-three percent of them responded that they sometimes or very often felt that the war wasn't worth fighting.  Thirty-seven percent didn't think that what was being fought for had any personal significance for them.  Fifty-two percent were "neutral" or against US foreign policy in Korea.   The ambivalence of this group reflects, I think,  the popular ambivalence toward the war.
