It was Truman and his incompetent State department that caused the war to begin with

What war? That was explained by HST to be a United Nations police action. (:^)

My sister's husband was in the Army, and his group got all the way to the Chosen reservoir. Then the Chinese entered the police action (on the North Korean side).

As someone noted, it took Ike to end the police action (sort of).

"his group got all the way to the Chosen Reservoir"

He must have been in the ill-fated 31st RCT on the east side of Chosin which was destroyed in 5 days.

Only 385 doggies out of 3000 escaped to the 1st Marine perimeter where Chesty Puller threatened to shoot them if they withdrew from their assigned positions.
