How could a news magazine of your stature forget the "Forgotten War" unless your understanding of the definition of the word "forgotten" is a verb and not an adjective, which then, of course, makes it an action word "to forget" and therefore you did it correctly by forgetting it. As far as responding to this comment, just forget it.
Oh, I almost forgot. I'm a Korean War veteran.
