“Good God! Mr. Truman really blew it!”
Yet he’s a “national hero” and Douglas MacArthur either ignored or vilified.
If MacArthur hadn’t botched the approach on the Yalu, and ignored the warnings of the Communist intervention, we might not have a North Korean leadership in Pyongyang now. As a West Point historian noted in a lecture I attended, “MacArthur thought he understood the Asian mind. He was wrong.”
More brainwashing...anyone with any commonsense knows that President Truman allowed the Chinese to kill our troopers and he pulled them back! What the heck? And condemned a whole country to enslavement of a horrible communist monster.
