I think you can celebrate the ingenuity of a moment in a conflict without condoning the whole of it. Shooting down a plane with a helicopter is hard, this is the first time it happened as far as we know.

Also, when I was taught about the Vietnam War there was a huge amount of respect paid to the creativity of the North Korean forces in how they ran their military operations. Obviously a 1/n anecdote.

FWIW, I was taught that it's unfortunate we didn't get all of Korea.

Pure guess on my part, but I suspect today’s North Korean population might wish we’d gotten the north too.
