Yep and Douglas MacArthur had a solution which his bosses were unwilling to let him use: tactical nukes to seal the Norkies supply line at the Yalu River.
Remember, we had a monopoly on nukes at the time. It wouldn't have been a perfect solution, but it was a hell of a lot better than the current result.

Remember, we had a monopoly on nukes at the time.Not exactly. The Chinese attacked at the end of 1950, and the Russians detonated their first Bomb in August of 1949.
We no doubt had more, bigger and better Bombs, but we didn't have a monopoly.
