I am not saying that Mcarthur did not make some mistakes...war is a very hard task to general. Maybe you should try it sometime. What you did was overstate your case by saying he said it was impossible for the Chinese to get involved, and he did not...right?

LOL --you & Monterrosa-24 keep trying to change the subject!  We start out talking about Macarthur & y'all back off from defending his blunders and switch over to my being a bad guy. 

We see that game a lot these days, usually with those that defend Obama, Clinton, Carter, etc.  Whenever we bring up their malfeasance we get hit with "aw you could do better huh? huh? Look, my war experience may be very impressive to some but we both know that there's nothing I ever did that can excuse what Macarthur did.  I don't want to play that game & if it's that important to you they go ahead & play with it by yourself.  They say if you play with it by yourself to much it can make you blind though.

Something to note here is how we got so much more opinion on Macarthur than fact.  We don't even have a consensus on how to spell his name as Microsoft says it's "Macarthur" and the Freerepublic checker wants "MacArthur".  Go figure.
