It's unfortunate that Truman allowed our troops to be withdrawn too quickly from post WWII Korea. Not long after our troops abandoned SK, North Korea invaded and occupied S Korea, Truman decided to send troops back to Korea (in a "police action" against "bandits").
30,000 Americans died in the next 30 months in Korea. If we had kept troops in SK for a longer time after WWII, fewer Americans would have died.
@Stockpile1 that's bs. the reason you don't hear about communism today is b/c the ussr collapsed 20 years ago and took the cold war with it. if harry truman was alive today glenn beck would call him a socialist pinko commie.
Man, have times changed. Our government couldn't speak out or take a stand like this against communism today. The ACLU would launch a successful, full scale legal assault.

Sorry Harry you were wrong in 1950, and are still wrong in 2011. We are now over $14 Trillion in debt and are essentially bankrupt.
