Was President Truman's firing of General MacArthur justified?
I know that the reason was insubbordination, and some of the differnences between the two were regarding MacArthurs actions at the Yalu River, as well as his desire to Atom bomb China. Were their any other differences regarding how to conduct the Korean war between Truman and MacArthur? Are there any other reasons to justify his actions of firing him?
One of the founding principles of this republic is that the military is controlled by a civilian commander in chief. The purpose of this was the need to prevent a military commander from assuming the role of dictator. It was Washington's refusal to do so at the end of the war that prompted George III to comment that he was one of the greatest men to ever have lived.
If a general, and I mean any general, whether his name is John Fremont, George McClellan, or Douglas MacArthur, begins to act in a manner that goes contrary to the orders of his commander in chief, he has to be reprimanded, and if necessary, removed.
It was President Truman's assessment that he be removed.
If Ike had tried pulling the same stunts as Commander of NATO, MacArthur probably would have agreed that the President remove Eisenhower.
