美國國防部多次修改朝鮮戰爭死亡人數，2000年修訂為，戰死33643人，其它死亡20617人

CBS報道:June 5, 2000 - As the 50th anniversary of the start of the Korean War approaches, one key statistic is being reclarified— the one detailing just how many Americans were killed in the war. For years after the war ended in 1953, the Pentagon published a figure of 54,260. That combined the 33,643 "battle deaths" with 20,617 "other deaths."

But in 1989 the Pentagon began revising the totals because "other deaths" included U.S. military deaths worldwide during the three years of the war, rather than just those soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines who died in and around the Korean peninsula.

• 1950年到1953年美國隻有在朝鮮打仗，全球死亡兩萬多也是因為朝鮮戰爭死亡，不可能因為其它原因死亡。 -XYZ94538- ♂ (0 bytes) () 10/28/2021 postreply 17:45:33

• 所謂”other deaths”，其實說得很清楚，他們不是戰鬥死亡。不應該被算在韓戰傷亡人數裏的。 -金筆- ♂ (0 bytes) () 10/28/2021 postreply 18:00:59

• 這17000人的確值得探究。比如當年在日本總共有多少支持韓戰後勤部隊，在別處駐軍有多少有沒有軍事行動等 -fakegreen- ♂ (0 bytes) () 10/28/2021 postreply 18:29:04
