Re “we already have the men equipment”. That was Patton in Europe not MacArthur in Japan.

MacArthur “beef” with Truman was over how to best use Formosa during the Korean War. Truman was an idiot that killed a lot of American GIs.

Truman was “the buck stops here” President.
He was the one who dropped the bomb on Japan.
Right or wrong, he was not going to fight a war on both sides of the world... he was done losing lives.. and Japan had to surrender. they did...
for whatever history reports.. he ended the war with Japan. and Japan was headed to the west coast of America. The surrender was a nice piece of work.

I should have stated that it was MacArthur and the Korea war that I was referring to..
