America actually came there and managed to give half of them (in South Korea) a bit of freedom.

I wonder whether some North Korean soliders might later have regretted the side they fought on. Maybe they didn't have much choice in the matter, but I wonder.

Highly unlikely they think this way, more likely they think that among North Korean people they do pretty well being in the army as at least it gets some food rations on the table.

The difference is pretty shocking really, and had it not been for USA then whole of Korea would be like North.

I suppose that even if the soldiers know that life in South Korea is so much better, they're somehow happy enough because they live comfortably compared to other North Koreans.
