"Different strokes for different folks".
If you think every Pres going be like George Bush or Ronald Regan, than you're in for a rude awaking. The reason Truman relieved MacArthur of his duties was because MacArthur ignored Truman's orders not to publicly make statements that would interfere with the White House attempts to bring North Korea & China to the Peace table. MacArthur made the remark"if China & North Korea didn't want to negotiate peace, than we will bomb China." His remark was something to that effect.
Many people at that time felt Truman made the wrong move for firing MacArthur, but years later when people began to realize how much of a powerhouse China was(and still is today)they began to agree with Truman's actions. This Country was still in the rebuilding process at that time from WWII and the majority of the people wasn't interested in another huge scale war so soon.
