Found this about Ghost War: down about 1 page. Looks like it was the "phony war" on the western front: Sep, 1939 to May, 1940. Ghost War also seems to be used as a euphemism for the "war on terror." There's a book titled Ghost War: The Secret History of the CIA, Afghanistan…
Read the full replyThere was an obituary in today's paper, the object of which was an Army veteran from WWII. He was stated to be a veteran of the Bulge and the Ghost War. The last is a new term to me. Is this something I've already heard about under another title or, like Slapton Sands, something else only coming to notice?

There's a book titled Ghost War: The Secret History of the CIA, Afghanistan, and Bin Laden, From the Soviet Invasion to September 10, 2001
There are also references to the post-Korean War watch on the DMZ, and of the CIA and various adventures of them. *Shrug*

I doubt the individual was involved in the Sitzkrieg since he only graduated high school in '43. More likely it was the Korean thing.
Interesting editorial on Wilson's 14 Points at that url. That'd be worth saving for reference.
