Good old Harry. Back when the party was semi tolerable

POLITICAL CORRECTNESS
The Truman Library and Museum inIndependenceMissourihas copies of four telegrams between Harry Truman and Douglas MacArthur on the day before the signing of the Surrender Agreement.

The contents of those four telegrams below are exactly as received, not a word has been added or deleted!

(1)Tokyo,Japan0800-September 1,1945

To: President Harry S Truman
From: General D A MacArthur
Tomorrowwe meet with those yellow bellied bastards and sign the Surrender Documents, any last minute instructions!

(2)Washington, D C 1300-September 1, 1945
To: D A MacArthur
From: H S Truman
Congratulations, job well done, but you must tone down your obvious dislike of the Japanese when discussing the terms of the surrender with the press, because some of your remarks are fundamentally not politically correct!

(3)Tokyo,Japan 1630-September 1, 1945
To: H S Truman
From: D A MacArthur and C H Nimitz
Wilco Sir, but bothChesterand I are somewhat confused, exactly what does the term politically correct mean?

(4)Washington, D C 2120-September 1, 1945
To: D A MacArthur/C H Nimitz
From: H S Truman
Political Correctness is a doctrine, recently fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and promoted by a sick mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of shit by the clean end!
