We dropped 635,000 tons of bombs in the Korean War, almost as much as we dropped in the Pacific Theater of World War II fighting a much more powerful enemy and in less time. But, we didn't win because we didn't pursue an aggressive enough strategy. We basically parked ourselves on the 38th parallel and bombed and shelled for 2 years. If Patton hadn't been killed in 1945 and had become the commander of UN forces in the Korean War, we would've pursued an aggressive strategy and won.
