Yeah, we miscalculated too. When we crossed the Yalu River it was like stirring up a red ant nest, the Chicoms came pouring over the border and drove us back.
The icing on the Truman/MacArthur feud climaxed when the general left the pres. waiting on the tarmac at Wake Island in order to make a grand entrance. LOL

I don’t believe we ever actually crossed the Yalu River. It was MacArthur who wanted to do it and Truman who fired him for suggesting it. History has proven MacArthur was right. We should have fixed the Korean Peninsula while we had the chance in 1950.
