:The two main undeclared wars the United States engaged in between 1945 and 1980 were the Korean War and the Vietnam War. Both were partially mishandled by the United States military. In the Korean War, we should have informed the Chinese that, if they attacked our troops, we were going to attack them (not telling them we would not attack mainland China) as well as that if North Korean MiG-15s crossed the Yalu River into Chinese territory they would be pursued. In Vietnam, we should have bombed Haiphong and Hanoi earlier, as well as mining Haiphong Harbor.
