"Write a paragraph explaining the pros and cons of U.S. involvement in the Korean War. Which do you believe outweighs the other?"

One pro of U.S. involvement in the Korean War was that it helped stop the spread of communism in Asia. Another pro was the strengthening of the U.S. military presence in the region. Some cons were the high number of casualties and the heavy cost of the war. I believe that the pros of stopping communism outweigh the cons in this situation.
