Brief Explanations

The Korean War was part of the US's Cold War strategy to contain communism. The Truman Doctrine committed the US to supporting nations resisting communist expansion. Fighting in Korea showed this commitment. Other options are incorrect: there was no major financial gain from winning, North Korea’s resources weren’t a US goal, and feeding Americans wasn’t a war motive.

Answer:

It would show the US' commitment to the Truman Doctrine and their promise to contain the spread of Communism
