Yes, that's true. However, McArthur didn't fire Truman, which is Krauthammer's point. Civilian control of the military is one of the cornerstones of our republic.

I agree totally.

However, as long as the ex-Generals complain after they retire, they do so as citizens and not Generals.

Of course, this is all to give cover to the Democrats and their treasonous attacks on our military.

He was relieved of his command and recalled.
