Yes actually.

Although I oppose the US involvement in the Korean Conflict I can see the difference between Truman's "limited war strategy" and MacArthur's even more imperialistic "let's kill them all" strategy.  The former, while I disagree with it, is alot more in line with what should've been reasonable US foreign policy.

pure politics led to the firing of MacAruthur. would've been a great president
There's only one scenario in which MacArthur makes it into the White House, and it involves him storming it with an army behind him.  Hope you like fascism.

I don't like fascism that's why I didn't vote for Obama so that he could run companies that are privately owned. Hope you like Government Motors.
