Military or political? President Truman's strategy was a "negotiated settlement." “It would end the war, but unfortunately North Korea would remain independent. » His tactic was diplomatic, whenever there was a dispute he would talk about it without causing problems or alarming other countries, there was a conflict of interest. Calling on the troops to act would be his final call, as he believed violence was unnecessary. Just like in the Korean War, he did not send troops to attack and reconquer North Korea. He ordered them to go to Pusan ​​because he wanted to secure South Korea and avoid a massive massacre and imprisonment of half of Korea. But his main fear was the expansion of communism, so his main goal was not to anger the Chinese. Once MacArthur reached the coast of Pusan, he wanted to fight to the end and leave South Korea as a proud leader who accomplished and perhaps avoided the greatest turning point in history: the capture of power by the communists. However, he would have no chance, the president could not risk going further into North Korea because it could be suicide for the United States, President Truman thought so, because crossing the 38th parallel was known as “the point of no return”. Their relationship was a problem at this time as it came to a head in the middle of the war. It was a problem because they were both there, two great leaders, fighting for the tactics of communism and aiming to save South Korea, but they were competing and fighting against each other. It was a danger that could weaken them to a great extent and defeat them through their own stubbornness. The conflict between the president and the general has caused a lot of discussion and conflict among the public and his enemy as well. The argument between them...... middle of paper ...... congress “Old soldiers never die; they just disappear” consisted of a clarification and justification of his actions, why he did the right thing, and what he thought it would achieve. As Roger Dingman said: "MacArthur's legacy and enduring importance is to remind us of the need for this kind of leadership, this kind of unity of purpose, this kind of connection, a certain way, between the military leader and his men who are fighting a conflict. war and the general public. Douglas MacArthur is remembered as a very important patriotic leader who fought for his country until his dismissal.
