Short answer is: the Korean War came on the heels of WWII, the US was quickly moving toward a new prosperity and there remained lots of post-war enthusiasm up through the 1950s. After the end of US action in Korea in 1953 people in this country generaly and quite literally began to forget about the war, or put it in the backs of their minds.
AnswerThe Korean War is America's forgotten war. If people under the age of 30 have any knowledge of this "police action" at all, it probably comes from watching reruns of MASH. Nestled snugly between the last good war, World War II, and that twelve year nightmare known as Vietnam, the Korean War is mostly forgotten because, well, nothing at all was accomplished. We didn't win it, we didn't lose it, and the situation on the Korean peninsula is pretty much the same now, over fifty years later, as it was when we first sent troops there.Answer
Well because both sides agreed to have a break and signed a treaty like thing. The war is still not over it's just on a "break". But it's been on a break for like 50 years that's why it's called the forgotten war.
