<<If we had carried that philosophy past the DMZ and gone on for victory, maybe we would have had a good war.>>

When our troops had pushed the invaders back to the 38th parallel a cease fire was called. NK didn't want to lose any of their original country and the UN mandate was to remove the invaders. After that it only took 18 years to agree on the shape of the table where peace talks would take place.
