During the Cold War, the fact that both the Soviet Union and we had vetos kept the UN on the sidelines in most conflicts. Korea was an exception because the Soviet Union had walked out in protest over something stupid.
I've read that others were killed, so I wasn't saying that no Turks or British or Australians or whatever were killed. Just mostly us, cept for the Koreans and Chinese.

Your response also conveniently overlooks France and China. Korea was also an exception because Taiwan had the Chinese vote back then. But the fact that such a confluence of coincidences had to occur to get the one and only UN war is exactly the reason why the Security Council etc. should not have word one to say about the wars we fight.
