Detailed explanation-1: -When MacArthur criticized Truman’s decision publicly, Truman declared MacArthur insubordinate and removed him as commanding general. MacArthur returned to the United States, received a hero’s welcome, and told Congress, “Old soldiers never die; they only fade away.” WILL YOU SAIL OR STUMBLE ON THESE GRAMMAR QUESTIONS?
Detailed explanation-2: -Had MacArthur convinced Truman to go to war with China, the world likely would have been dragged into World War III. The US did not have the traditional military power to take down a nation as strong and massive as China, which would have likely driven them to the use of nuclear weapons.
Detailed explanation-3: -Truman relieved General of the Army Douglas MacArthur of his commands after MacArthur made public statements that contradicted the administration’s policies.
Detailed explanation-4: -Truman viewed MacArthur’s proposals as reckless. “We are trying to prevent a world war, not start one, ” he said. MacArthur tried to go over the President’s head by taking his case to Congress and the press. In response, Truman removed him.
