Oh thank goodness! MacArthur really is arrogant! >:U

They did go home in body bags. Such sheer arrogance from MacArthur to think that he has the war all wrapped up despite the Chinese warnings!

The United States is not the only country that committed war crimes in the Korean War. In fact every nation involved did. South and North Korea both committed some heinous acts. They both slaughtered civilians mercilessly. Don't try and come in with the attitude that the U.S. is the only one doing so. It's just that we are the only ones held accountable.

@zhlsimon haha.

@jjd705 DIDN'T (past tense), they've got their first carrier a few months ago and is for sure building more now. Yes I'm sure its poorly-built and outdated by western standards but so was the Japanese navy when Japan first started modernizing. Then all of a sudden, Pearl Harbor came unexpectedly. Don't underestimate your future enemies.

The Chinese surprise? sounds like a bad name for a drink...

Please, if the us didnt intervene, Korea would not have been divided. China intervened only because the us intervened.

Bad intelligence on the part of us.
I agree whole heartedly. China has grown in ways that could never be imagined back in the days of Mao. My comment was geared toward the foolishness of MacArthur at the time. MacArthur (at that time) cared little for his troops and much for his name in the headlines as the great man he felt himself to be.
Even Mao became wasteful of chinese lives (that he claimed to identify with) after numerous warnings from General Peng that further attacks would be wastful of the lives of the troops.

I agree, there is no "master race, or master nation". I think history shows that.
Military might is still a big issue for many countries in the world and will remain so for many years. Sometimes we are not as civilized as we think we are and need the military to sort things out. I'd be curious as to your opinions on the recent incidents involving the riots in western China. I tend to believe the Chinese news media. Any thoughts?
