Vietnam and north korea didn't
Didn’t what?
American assessments
In the wake of the Kanggye attack, FEAF began an intensive firebombing campaign that quickly incinerated multiple Korean cities. Three weeks after the attacks began, the air force assessed the damage as follows:
On 17 November 1950 MacArthur told
U.S. Ambassador to Korea John J. Muccio, "Unfortunately, this area will be left a desert." By "this area" MacArthur meant the entire area between "our present positions and the border". On 25 June 1951, General O'Donnell, commander of the Far Eastern Air Force Bomber Command, testified in answer to a question from Senator
John C. Stennis ("North Korea has been virtually destroyed, hasn't it?): "Oh, yes; ... I would say that the entire, almost the entire Korean Peninsula is just a terrible mess. Everything is destroyed. There is nothing standing worthy of the name ... Just before the Chinese came in we were grounded. There were no more targets in Korea."
In June 1952, as part of a strategy to maintain "air pressure" during armistice negotiations, FEAF's Fifth Air Force selected 78 villages for destruction by
B-26 light bombers. At the conclusion of the war, the Air Force assessed the destruction of 22 major cities as follows:
The bombing campaign destroyed almost every substantial building in North Korea.The war's highest-ranking U.S. POW, U.S. Major General
William F. Dean,reported that the majority of North Korean cities and villages he saw were either rubble or snow-covered wasteland.
Dean Rusk, the
U.S. State Department official who headed East Asian affairs, concluded that America had bombed "everything that moved in North Korea, every brick standing on top of another."North Korean factories, schools, hospitals, and government offices were forced to move underground. In November 1950, the North Korean leadership instructed the population to build dugouts and mud huts and to dig tunnels, in order to solve the acute housing problem.
In an interview with U.S. Air Force historians in 1988, USAF General
Curtis LeMay, who was also head of the U.S.
Strategic Air Command, commented on efforts to win the war as a whole, including the strategic bombing campaign, saying “Right at the start of the war, unofficially, I slipped a message in "under the carpet" in the Pentagon that we ought to turn SAC lose with some incendiaries on some North Korean towns. The answer came back, under the carpet again, that there would be too many civilian casualties; we couldn't do anything like that. We went over there and fought the war and eventually burned down every town in North Korea anyway, some way or another, and some in South Korea, too......Over a period of three years or so we killed off, what, 20 percent of the population of Korea, as direct casualties of war or from starvation and exposure? Over a period of three years, this seemed to be acceptable to everybody, but to kill a few people at the start right away, no, we can't seem to stomach that”.
Pyongyang, which saw 75% of its area destroyed, was so devastated that bombing was halted as there were no longer any worthy targets. By the end of the campaign, US bombers had difficulty in finding targets and were reduced to bombing footbridges or jettisoning their bombs into the sea.
Is he lying or not?
Was Emmet till killed 5 years later or not?
Yeah and Mao Zedong killed 35 million Chinese/Tibetans/Mongolians/Koreans and destroyed centuries of knowledge, artifacts and literature during the cultural revolution.
You know where it was worse than being a Black man in America? Being a human being in Mao Zedong China

America was paradise compared to China.
These are people who were fighting a defensive war.
North Korea invaded South Korea, then lost and South Korea became one of the richest countries on the planet and has culture phenomenons like Kpop and kdramas and North Korea has death camps and Android 19 running their country.
Extrajudicial executions, rape, forced abortions, jail without trial, torture, starvation rations that leave prisoners so hungry some turn to eating insects.

Why was it America's business to get involved in Korea? What benefits did black soldiers get for going to another country which had not attacked their own or threatened to while being expected to take orders from soldiers who had klan robes at home?
In terms of civil rights and the integration of the armed forces by Truman, the Korean War was probably the most influential event to the civil rights movement. Once the military was integrated that meant the federal government was integrated and thus you couldn’t justify states being segregated.
Black Americans can travel the globe respected largely because people respect the uniform our soldiers wore.
