Without MacArthur's visionary Inchon strategy, there would be no South Korea today.

Unless, of course, you believe that Kim Il-sung – out of the kindness of his heart – would have withdrawn his forces back to the north after invading the south.

MacArthur was an arrogant SOB, who should not have pushed so close to the Chinese border, and he should not have speculated about using nukes.

He was justly sacked by Truman for his sins. But give him his due…without MacArthur the south would have been lost.

Jchem…you are probably right. Vietnam is boring ancient history to today's students…whose knowledge of war dates back to “Black Hawk Down” . . . oh yeah…and whatever that war that was featured in the “Call of Duty” videogames.

I wonder what the results would be if a poll asked Americans in the same age bracket about the Korean War. If the US led the charge, and made history by saving South Korea, I would like to know how many Americans know when this war broke out. This is rather interesting.

He then immediately tried to win the war by dropping nuclear weapons all over North Korea and China, which would have wiped out millions and would have brought the USSR into the war. Saying he "saved" Korea is ignoring what happened after the first year. McArthur also escalated the war by attempting to conquer the entire peninsula bringing China into the game.
