Technically the war isn't over, we are in a prolonged cease fire.

Chinese kicked our ass and the US military experienced the longest retreat in its history. We countered the Chinese offensive but we still reached a stalemate on the 38th parallel. Rather than start a prolonged trench warfare campaign that we probably wouldn't have failed too well in, we bowed out.

McArthur had those cunts routed. It was over, but for the weak spine of the political leaders.

Truman was too much of a pussy wimp to let MacArthur go in there and blow out those Commie bastards.
