My friends longtime girlfriend lost her father to a NK attack on the DMZ. Does that count?

Since you reference north korea I can only assume that you are talking about the post-cease fire period.

They've attacked south korea on numerous occasions including the recent torpedo and artillery attacks.

They attacked South Korea and we came in to repel the invasion. We succeeded in that goal, but then China came in to North Korea's aid and we got pushed back again. We regrouped and counter-attacked and pushed China and NK back up to the 38th parallel and that's how things have been ever since.

You don't have to attack our country directly for us to be "attacked". Just merely pissing us off, messing with our economy or trying to make weapons (real or not WMD) is enough to justify us going in and smashing your skulls, kill your kids and take over your country. And if you dare try to fight back by using IEDs and snipers we will.... well we will be even more mad!

They didn't, but we got a bunch of our own soldiers killed and destroyed untold resources repelling an attack on the democracy of another country

Actually, I was referring to the fact that democrats now use that as a requirement in order to go to war.

Truman was a democrat. So, my question is this....why did we go to war without being attacked at home first?

The US forces in South Korea were attacked (along with South Korean forces) in the initial thrust in the Korean War. By attacking US troops in force, North Korea had essentially declared war on the US.

Which of our allies did Iraq attack precipitating Bush, Jr's Iraq invasion?
Which of our allies did Afghanistan attack precipitating Bush, Jr's invasion?
In fact, both of those invasions were unprovoked.

In all of your other examples, our allies were attacked; there was clear provocation.
Surely you can understand the difference.
