OTL in 1953 Syngman Rhee wished to continue the Korean War despite the war weariness of both the UN/US and Communist sides, so that he could pursue his objective of a reunified Korea under non-Commie control. Rhee's actions in this regard included unilaterally freeing 25,000 NK and Chinese POWs without consulting the US. WI he'd been able to successfully continue fighting using ROK forces ? Would the US have been compelled to keep the 8th Army in the fight, and how would a prolonged Korean War have proceeded ?
