USA Strikes Syria

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

That is exactly my point. There was no intention of winning in Korea or Vietnam. I agree that in both cases the US should have cleaned up those conflicts if they were going to get involved. I don't believe in half stepping.

Exactly how did we half-step in Korea? We pushed the North Koreans almost to the Chinese border. Then what happened? It turns out millions of Chinese who are too stupid to know better than to be mowed down by the thousands can push a battle pretty well when they outnumber you. If you recall MacArthur wanted to get the Chinese fully involved. Truman said no, so the war stagnated to a stalemate. Apparently, your historical knowledge is about as good as Joe Biden's promises not to pardon Hunter.

Gosh, if only the U.S. was isolationist and just minded its own business! Why , the rest of the world would love us and leave us alone and in peace forever after!

Oh... wait ... that never happened, and has been utter bullshit since 1783 ....

Never mind.

Oh please

Biden personally has money stashed in Georgia banks as well as Syrian banks.
Wonder where that money came from?

Couldn't be kickbacks from Ukraine aid could it?

 

[Concerned American]

he NVA was the North Vietnamese Army.

Gee, you are the master of the obvious. I don't need to google anything---I was there in Danang and surrounding areas in 1970 with the 1st Marine Division and in addition to the NVA, how would you characterize the VC? Take it down the road. phony.

I cannot believe you just posted that and told the whole world that you are either intoxicated or mentally retarded. Nobody is naturally that stupid.

Deflection noted. moron. Please stay on topic. I know its difficult when you are as ignorant as you are showing yourself to be. I posted a source, that's something you seem won't to do.

Saving South Korea was not a mistake. The Only reason there is a North Korea is politicians telling Generals how to fight.

MacArthur was sadly retired when he attempted such a thing suggesting we cross the Yalu River. If MacArthur had done that, we would not be having the problems with China and Russia that we are having now.

Now we need a PANTS ON FIRE emoji.

MacArthur was fired for being an arrogant asshole who forgot he wasn't President and not his own boss. Truman was right to fire his ass.

Yeah...but that could overly excite some board members

 

[Concerned American]

Apparently, your historical knowledge

Is better than yours. What did MacArthur suggest that got him fired? Now look at my post #107 and STFU. Or are you going to show your knowledge off again by telling us your vast knowledge of the CALVARY, moron.

 

[SmokeALib]

Biden doesn't know what he wants. He's done. Dude can't even walk to a podium.
Most likely his handlers want to hand Trump another another mess to clean up.

Keep in mind these are the same handlers that installed camela as the leftist nominee.
Incompetent fools.

It wasn't his 'suggestions' that got him fired.

Truman helped create North Korea

 

[Picaro]

Truman helped create North Korea

Truman tried to avoid another major war. 'North Korea' created North Korea, with the Soviet Union's help.. Unless you think invading Red China was a great idea. Apparently you don't know where a 'North Korea' came from.

North Korea–Russia relations - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

The Soviet Union had provided much support to North Korea during the Cold War.

Soviet troops invaded the Japanese colony of Korea in 1945; by agreement with the U.S., the 38th parallel was the dividing line with Moscow in charge to the north and Washington to the South.

North Korea came under the control of the Soviet Civil Administration and People's Committee of North Korea from 1945 to 1948.

Blah, this is not even registering on ARFCOM radar. Nobody cares if FJB hit some aspirin factories.....Last gasp of the neocons before Trump pulls us out of that shithole.

Not allowing Mac to cut Chinese supply lines was BS.

Not hitting their air bases was BS.

When China crossed WE WERE AT WAR WITH CHINA.

Truman OWNS NK

Coulda fooled me. I guess those 20 million illegals must have parachuted in.
But if the border is not wide open, then we obviously then don't have a fentanyl problem, a missing orphan child immigrant problem, nor a family separation problem.

Rubbish. WE all know if he had let MAcArthur do what he wanted you would just be sniveling about all the troops in China now. All it is is whining about Democrats with the GOP shills here.

MacArthur defied orders and drove past the 38th Parallel, and that is what brought Red China into the war in the first place.


The general assured the president that the Korean War would be short-lived and that the American troops would be home by Christmas. MacArthur was initially successful in driving back the North Korean forces over the 38th parallel. He made a controversial move, however, when he continued to push the North Koreans further north and suggested bombing cities in China that were thought to be aiding the North Korean troops. In pushing for a larger conflict, MacArthur downplayed the risk of inciting a massive war in Asia.


President Truman’s main concern was saving as many lives as possible, even if that meant signing a ceasefire along the 38th parallel. General MacArthur did not think a ceasefire was an appropriate solution. The two men clashed. For Truman, the war represented an opportunity to stop the spread of communism into South Korea. For MacArthur, the war was an opportunity to liberate the North from communist control, and aggressive action was required.


MacArthur thwarted Truman’s attempt to negotiate a ceasefire when the general ordered his troops to invade North Korea and push the NKPA up past the 38th parallel. This was not the first time the general had ignored direct orders from his Commander in Chief. On April 11, 1951, President Truman officially relieved Douglas MacArthur of his command. Word of his firing spread quickly, and the American public found the news upsetting. Truman felt that his decision was just because MacArthur had overstepped his authority, defied direct orders from his superior and interfered with Truman’s hope of ending the Korean War quickly.
