#HarryTruman fired #DouglasMacArthur as supreme commander of US forces in the #KoreanWar #OnThisDay in 1951 in order to confirm the principle of civilian control of the military & to prevent MacArthur from turning the Korean War into World War III...

The report said he had already been shot twice while serving in Korea as of June 1951. Counting those injuries, he was wounded two dozen times on the battlefield, including from a bayonet up his nose and a bludgeoning with a rifle butt. #WWII #KoreanWar

Mar 25, 1951 #KoreanWar NYT General of the Army Douglas MacArthur and official Washington were feuding again today. Source of the trouble this time was General MacArthur's truce offer yesterday to the Chinese Communists. Washington's complaint: it wasn't consulted.

#KoreanWar #Korea Oddly taken by this shot from my Dad's lot of pics he took while rigging helicopters in Marine Corps in the Korean War. Two Korean men. I watch so many Korean shows both on Netflix & queer asian venues & it struck me that these guys might be grandfathers of actors I watch now.
