Having allowed the N.Korean maneuver ellements to escape to the north, led to the hell bent rush to the Yalu, purportedly to destroy those fleeing NKPA, while ignoring sound tactical principles, complete absence of flank security, (the Taebok Mts. making that impossible), with that asshole Almond flying from one command to another cajoling and demanding a faster more reckless advance, while the Chinese, as ADVERTIZED, infiltrated through the Taeboks to eventually ambush and halt the UN
Forces. MacArthur and his minions didn't save lifes, they wasted them, and led their troops into the worst reversal since the Battle of the Bulge. They snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
With MacArthur relieved, and new blood in command, the demoralized force was re-vivified by a more agressive, but tactically sound Command Structure, and the Communist Forces were once again on the verge of defeat in mid 1951, when the Chinese, in an effort to save face and their sorry asses, asked Malik to secure UN pressure for "Peace Talks", Truman fell for it, the war dragged on, and what could have been won on the field of battle, was lost in the war of words. Now we face the prospect of a reprise....another Korean War.
