There were no satellites. There was limited air recon. The enemy kept good radio discipline. And frankly many of the locals (at that time north and North of 38) were not big fans of ours.

People tend not to understand the scale of what happened there. 38,000 dead American sounds very bad. And it was. But given the scale it could've been much worse. Land wars in Asia.
