Summary / Abstract (Note)Despite recent attention, the Korean War (1950-53) remains underappreciated and further explanation of its 'forgottenness' is needed. Korea originally faded to gray because there was no satisfying victory. National security planners had ample reason to try and rehabilitate the war in the mind of the public, but had little success. This was because a primary accomplishment of the second half of the war - forcing the enemy to accept so-called voluntary repatriation of POWs (prisoners of war) - was semi-secret and never declared as a major war aim. Since the nation was never united around securing voluntary repatriation, there was little raw material for creating a memory of success.
