(80,708 posts)He was told that going all the way to the Yalu would provoke the Chinese to get involved because of having US troops right on their border, and he didn't listen.
Kim Il Sung was defeated. North Korea was functionally nonexistent. If MacArthur had listened to Truman what was left of North Korea would be a sliver of land, if anything.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
