The Korean War, really a United Nations sponsored police action, can more accurately be termed the Korean Conflict. The Korean Conflict has been stated to have started June 25, 1950 and ceased in Panmunjom, Korea on July 27, 1953 with no formal terms for ending the conflict. It has also been stated “No Winner” can claim victory for the Korean War/Conflict, but then does any war or conflict have a Winner?
Article Below: "The father of a Detroit serviceman killed in Korean has filed suit in circuit court for double indemnity payment under his son's life insurance policies." The father charged that the death of his son was accidental because it occurred during an undeclared war. The insurance company refused to "pay double indemnity stating it is not liable because the soldier's death 'was intentionally occasioned by action by an enemy of the U.S. in a time of war.'" So, was it a WAR or a CONFLICT?
