"...Harry Truman led America into the Cold War and the Truman Doctrine with its commitment to American containment of Soviet aggression remained the basic U.S. strategy until the USSR collapsed in 1991..."

Truman was a goofball. He made the US vulnerable to Soviet spies. His 'nukes for peace' program did more for nuclear proliferation than anything else on earth. He fired General MacArthur for fighting too well, not to mention telling MacArthur to stop advancing up NK when the enemy was in retreat. Truman's only vitue was his frugalness. We could use some frugalness right now. But looking at all the harm he did, I'm glad he's not around to provide more frugalness.
