You can't expect anyone to tell us they are megalomaniacs in their autobiographies. he got the sack as he was going to nuke Peking despite being ordered not to.
Truman said he didn't get fired because he was a stupid bastard, it isn't illegal for generals to be stupid. He got the sack as he wouldn't obey orders.
Wow, you taek Truman's word over it?
Nope. Sorry, you're wrong on this one.
MacArthur understood the real situation, Truman, Deep State, wanted to facilitate defeat and capitulation. Result? A Massive long war with the entire Korean People traumatized and the nation STILL divided today.
Result? Communist dictatorship in North Korea. Result? Multi-generational suffering unimaginable for an entire race.
It's NOT illegal for General's to state clearly and honestly what the truth is, and to even call out the Deep State.
He got fired because he DISAGREED with Truman and knew the reality of what Truman was doing.
MacArthur was THE most population General in the USA. He let Eisenhower know that he WASN'T going to run for President, despite the fact that so many wanted to recruit him.
Truman fired MacArthur because MacArthur was a threat to Truman and his power clique. If MacArther was successful in Korea, AND he decided to later run against Truman, Truman was a goner.
Remember: "Trump is a Racist", right?
Truman did say this, and MacArthur did want to nuke China. Endex.
Agreed, Truman DID say this. But what were his real motives?
MacArthur did propose using nukes in the Korean war. He wanted to win the fricken war with the Communists, and put an end to it then and there.
What ended up happening was that he was a Commander put in charge of a war that his commander in chief would never let him win. He was NOT allowed to win.
He was not allowed win. He wanted to destroy the North Korean army, but when he had driven them into a corner, the crossed the Yalu, escaped, and he was NOT allowed to pursue them. What happened? They came back. Instead of a 6 month campaign against the Communists of North Korea which would have unified Korea and saved millions of lives, it became a 3-year unwinnable campaign that lost millions of lives, and resulted in a divided Korea for 70+ decades.
These outcomes are a direct result of Truman's not allowing a general put in charge of a war to actually win the war.
