... MacArthur was a gloryhound cowboy that had great PR. If he was assigned someone who wasn't handpicked, he would have been *_FRAGGED_* if they could get away with it. That's how hated within the general US military was.
@@TheTrueAdeptExcept that's not true. MacArthur wasn't liked by other *BRASS* and civillian officials. The general public, loved, or at least, respected him, and the attitude would have been similar among his men. He wasn't with the FDR administration's "program", and his vision of the world (and military matters) was simulataneously reactionary at times and progressive at others. It set him at odds with his leaders despite his military achievements. But his attitude and way of approaching things was fundementally *IN-LINE* with the American pysche as it existed among common Americans. He, like Patton, or Curtiss Lemay, didn't fit into the technocratic order that was being established post World War II and that wasn't his fault, but the people he ended up having to answer to. But one man in his position can't stand against that alone, him suggesting using Nukes (in a doctrinal capacity the US already *PLANNED* to do in Europe if the Soviets invaded) in Korea was the excuse to get him out of the power structure, with enough pats on the back to have him go quietly.

People say the Marines retreated from the Chosin Reservoir. When the 1st Marine Division, US soldiers, and remnants of UN forces were surrounded by eight Chicom Divisions. It wasn't a fight over land but survival or destruction. There was no line of retreat to safety. It was an all-out brawl to the sea. Korean citizens were also making up the march towards the sea. The result was the Americans making towards the sea to fight another day. Eight badly mauled Chicom Divisions, two of which were rendered combat ineffective. The Marines, Soldiers, and Korean citizens evacuated from the port. What couldn't be taken onto the landing ships and the port city itself were destroyed by demolitions and naval bombardment. But the Chicoms called it a victory. Pyrrhus of Epirus would have called the Chinese Communists leadership idiots.
PVA realistically would have annihilated the 1st marine division if that retreat to Hungnam wouldn't have been ordered, most of Chinese casualties didn't come from the US but the fact that they lacked proper winter clothing and a lot of them froze or starved to death. That's what was truly the idiot leadership part, not equipping your troops to fight well at minus 35 degrees Celsius, as troops go PVA and Marines were both battle experienced and merciless to each other but interestingly enough, PVA didn't execute POWs almost at all, vast majority of them survived the war and returned to US but marines didn't really take any prisoners almost at all.
@@benicionavarro8849 Nah, just stating historical facts, PVA did a bunch of mistakes later in the war that cost them dearly but the beginning was really good.
My grandpa served in the Korean War, he was in the us navy on the U.S.S Missouri and he was an anti air gunner. Although when he was alive he told me that all they really did was coastal bombardment. It is still cool to know he was a part of history and I still have his combat knife.

My great uncle was killed there at the chosin reservoir, and my great grandfather was captured there. Great grandad escaped and came back to start a family. He was a school administrator, and he died in 2008.

My great grandfather joined the Army when he was 15, during the war he was a radioman and translated words from Columbian troops to Spanish to English, it was 1953 when he was discharged because the army found out about his age. He was in the 7th infantry division from 1952 to 1953 today he is 89 Years old

the US had less than 10,000 troops at chosin, the chinese had over 100,000 troops at chosin. the chinese had at least 30,000 wounded and 20,000 dead... the US had less than 2,000 wounded and like 600 dead... and somehow people say the US lost chosin...
Whenever I went to my grandma's house in San Diego, I would have a run in with this grumpy old man named Mr. Wilner whom she lived by, getting mad that we played on his grass. Years later, after his death, I learned he fought at Chosin reservoir.
My grandpa, who was jailed as a conscientious objector during this conflict, would later become lifelong friends with someone who had seen combat as a machine gunner. I haven't really learned the latter's story. He's still content to keep it to himself, but I can't really bring myself to blame him. The Forgotten War was still a brutal affair.
"If we let Korea down, the Soviet[s] will keep right on going and swallow up one [place] after another". Truman said this at his first meeting with advisors after learning of North Korea's invasion of South Korea in 1950. Truman also reportedly said, "By God, I'm going to let them [North Korea] have it!" -Harry S. Truman
Truman had a certain base instinct and cunning that FDR occluded. He was firmly in the post-WWII world order, but his sensibilities were from an older America. He's a more commendable President than FDR, in my opinion.
