I always knew that we did some pretty horrible stuff in the Korean War - I mean, hell, we treated North Korea in the same way that we treated Japan and Germany and those countries were technically Great Powers - but I didn't know it was quite so horrific. I think it's probably fair to say that there haven't been many wars where either side didn't commit war crimes, but that doesn't excuse our actions, certainly. I'm glad at least that we probably would never engage in another conventional, total war again - at least not on this scale. The loss of life on that scale is impossible to comprehend.
