nov 25, 1950 - Truman's Limited War
Description:
Truman did not want to commit the amount of troops or atomic weapons needed to win a land war against China. Enraged with this idea of Limited War, MacArthur sent a letter to the Republican Party leader in the House of Representatives about the President's policies. MacArthur was fired for insubordination once this letter was revealed.
