The G.O.P. and the Korean War

TLDR: Men of the American "elint" vessel Pueblo captured off that nation's coast on January 23, 1953 as discussed by the authors were the first to declare war on the United States.

Abstract: men of the American "elint" vessel Pueblo captured off that nation's coast on January 23. These negotiations were complicated by the very real threat of a resumption of warfare across the thirty-eighth parallel. At the same time the Johnson administration was under heavy criticism because the nation was bogged down in a somewhat similar and increasingly distasteful land war in Southeast Asia. Republican aspirants for the presidency questioned why so powerful a nation as the United States could not defeat "a fourth-rate military power." They also reminded the public that it was a Republican administration that ended the Korean War.
