Truman says he should have fired MacArthur earlier
Former President Harry S Truman writes in the Saturday Evening Post that he should have dismissed General Douglas MacArthur as Far East commander two years sooner. He recalls approving a Japanese Diet action counter to Washington policy, and notes he would have ousted MacArthur if he disobeyed. He says his hardest decision was entering the Korean War but the MacArthur removal caused the strongest reaction. He credits MacArthur as a great military figure alongside Lee Jackson Washington.
