Korean War Lesson

Dear Mr.Prez,
Because you are taking President Truman's position, you must become aware of the US's current position. Here is a short summary; Communism must be kept out of Korea, our goals have been partially accomplished, because we have managed to keep communism out of southern Korea.However, we have been unsuccessfull in infiltrating North Korea, which the Chinese have allied. General MacArthur also underestimated their strength, so soemthing must be done about that situation.President Truman felt as though saving South Korea from communism was a good enough success. Unfortunately, MacArthur ignored orders not to fight, and as a result of this, Truman saw fit to send him back to the US in order to avoid an unessesceary war. Containment did not succeed, and if we had attacked China, we surely would have lost many soldiers.
