英语词汇police action的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

police action. Though 75,000 U.N. soldiers were killed in it and a quarter of a million wounded, the Korean war cannot of- ficially be called a war because Congress never officially de- clared it one. It is officially known in history as the Korean po- lice action, the Korean emergency and the Korean conflict. President Truman approved the coinage police action, after an anonymous reporter asked him if repelling a raid “by a bunch of bandits,” as Truman called the North Koreans, could be termed a “police action.” The reporter, however, probably got the term from a speech by Senator William F. Knowland. See forgotten war.
