Eisenhower made his deal and gave in to the utterly exhausted Chinese army that was only a skeleton force after wasting its manpower through two years of frontal attacks. One good push would then have gone to the Yalu once again but this time there was no PLA force to be injected against our guys. Ike could have Ended it on much better terms with a minimum of effort. Ike was a righteous man but he was not Donald Trump.

Bet the State Department, the embedded socialists, and Deep State had a lot to do with his decision. that may be the reason he warned us about them when he left office.

“A minimum of effort” to break that stalemate, and push all the way back up to the Yalu? I’m going out on a limb and guessing you may -not- have been a grunt in 1953.
