This whole thing is Trumans fault. He should have listened to MacArthur.
Another Democrat mess left simmering.
“This whole thing is Trumans fault. He should have listened to MacArthur.”
Margaret Thatcher once quipped you could track the decline of the British Empire with the invention and use of the telephone. I guess she was implying Heretofore, commanders and viceroys in the field ran their territories free of meddling by the home office. Pretty much the same in WWII except for the onsight meddling later in the game as they began deciding the political ending for the war in Europe. By the time of Korea, we had the first instance of missions being run out of the White House which was more than expanded under Johnson in Vietnam. The results were disasterous.
