I was not a history student while in HK.
Just learned from TRMS (the rachel Maddox show on MSNBC) that if Truman did not fire MacArthur fighting the Korean war, MacArthur wanted to BOMB CHINA to stop the flow of Chinese volunteers going into Korea.
End result could be WW3. MacArthur was going to get Nationalist to join in the fighting back of Communists too.
Imagine if TRUMP was in power, may God bless the WORLD.
