Why is it that in America the Korean War seems to be forgotten?

by FlirtySingleSupport

In every highschool history class in america we learn about WWII and Vietnam, and yet, the Korean War is never mentioned? what is it about this war that makes it seemingly less significant? and what important lessons could we learn from it?

It's not that it wasn't significant or not worth mentioning since they apparently "lost"as some people think(the Americans actually succeeded in pushing back the Korean forces to the 48 parallel) it was just that it is after WWII and before Vietnam, two wars that are extremely significant. Compared to them, the war was thought less of.
