>"Prove it." Look it up Grasshopper 😉.. I already did and in fact I already gave you a history source with the information showing that you are in error about 5 posts ago: Start on page 240. http://www.history.army.mil/books/PD-C-13.HTM I can't tell if you're just a midwit unable to admit that you're wrong of if you're just unwilling to read the source material I proved it to backup my case.

Sigh... You can't prove a negative Grasshopper. I'll say this about Mac and then I'm through. Like most people he made some good decisions and made some bad ones. His biggest bad one was the Philippine Invasion which was motivated by his hubris and infinite ego. His decision to do the Incheon Landing was brilliant, mainly because it worked. But, in the end his hubris and political ambition got the best of him and did him in. Whether you agree or not with Trumans actions toward Mac, civilian rule of our military is sacrosanct. So,Truman had no choice but to can Mac. Almost forgot; Mac did a superb job administering post-war Japan, installing democracy, rebuilding their industrial base. One of the smartest things he did in this regard was bringing over Edwards Deming. Btw, my dad was one of those who after serving in North Africa and Europe was recalled fro Korea. As I recall from his stories he wasn't too happy about it but he went and did his duty. I'm old enough to remember the WWII and Korea vets talk about Dugout Doug at family get togethers and such and none had much good to say about him. Just as a side note I'm a Vietnam vet. Also, have traveled extensively in Asia and the fam and I lived in Shanghai for two years as an expat work assignment. So, I have some personal knowledge about Asia. Anyway, take care of yourself, it's been fun Grasshopper (Aesop) 😉.
