Right, the Generalissimo was a happy man and
offered Gen. Mac a job in Taiwan.
In addition, Japan made a fortune by bilking Uncle
Sam for war labor and materials. Japanese made vehicles (how many?) for
ROKA and that helped launch the Japanese auto industry, which has cost
Americans jobs.
The war benefited Rhee Syngman and his gang - some
of his 'trusted' generals were plotting to throw them out when the war
started. Rhee was eventually thrown out by the populace with the military
backing in 1960.
I am sure many folks here in America benefited as
well.

BTW, Chiang's official bio states that he attended
the Japanese Military Academy. The truth of the matter is he attended a prep
school for the Academy but never made it into the Academy.

Hi Bob-
Here is what Sherlock
Stone has to say about that. "It should not be
forgotten that in this, as
in any other unsolved crime, it is useful to begin
by determining who
benefited. The biggest beneficiary of the Korean War was
Chiang Kai-shek.
The war diverted the Chinese Reds from their plans to attack
Formosa. It
gave him a virtual American protectorate over Formosa, and an
increase
flow of American aid."
So, the Korean War was a decisive
victory for some, if not all the free
world.
