tomhoffa: how come i see many world war 2, vietnam, and some world war 1 and others like civil war, video games, and i only see a small handfull of a very few old Korean war video games??
are there any?
is 'mig alley' the only air combat one made? and a couple strategy ones?
are there any?
timppu: Probably the same reason there seems to be so few movies about it, or the first Gulf war (there are some of the latter, but even they are mostly about "gawd it was a boring war, the biggest tragedy was that the US soldier never got into proper combat situations and didn't get to snipe a headshot to an Iraq warlord"). are there any?

Maybe it was a boring, at least from the point of view of common United Statesians. (I don't say "Americans" because then all the Canadians, Mexicans and Brazilians would be like "Huh? I didn't find it boring at all! That war meant everything to me!".)
Not sure what is the proper nomenclature for United Statesians anyway?

Americans from an Anglo-Canadian perspective. We never consider ourselves a citizen of the Americas except in esoteric, academic scenarios. Latin America might have different views, however. If you really want to avoid all controversies, go with the classic "citizens of the US(A)" as Titanium said.

there was some very good air and tank battles in that conflict.
far as the strategy games on it i would rather like ones where it wasnt scripted historically. with the same objectives and places in scenerios as the real battles/war was at the time.
a player would probably do something different even if they are familiar with its history or not.
for instance, at the time frame when the battle of Kursk was fought, i would not have attacked if i was playing the german side. i would have months earlier.
and i also like sometimes like to redue the scenerio and play the otherside.
there is just so much on ww2 and would like something not only different but, interesting.
i also dont see much on the arab-israel conflicts either.

Ah, soon after I posted that it actually dawned on me that obviously it must have been directed towards the US/UN intervention. At the time they wanted to avoid triggering the Soviets and Chinese.

This is entirely dependent on context - timppu wrote that he would avoid the term Americans, the official name of the country is the United States of America, and so the "proper" way to address them would be such.

Look, the terms may be interchangable if the context is simple. If not, then the official line takes precedent. The fact that we can say that someone is an American and people will very likely know exactly what you mean is down to the spread of the American culture.
If, for instance, California secedes from the union/federation, do they cease to be Americans or what?
