1. Please define “common military knowledge” in this context.
2. MacArthur actually thought that if he could defeat the DPRK army in North Korea that he could win the war on American terms. He refused to see the possibility that China would intervene. Even after Chinese prisoners were taken in late October, 1950 he wrote it off to “a few volunteers” and never suspected that he faced 20 Chinese divisions. After China invaded he wanted to press the war and defeat them but not until they had actually invaded Korea.
