* How many people remember MacArthur saying on this date in November of 1950 that the war would be over by that Christmas? The "official" action in Korea went on until 1953.
* How many people remember that Truman said he was sending our troops to fight a "police action" against "bandits" who were threatening the Republic of Korea?

Which is one of his charms,
To Commies, who think the guy's brave.

But it's good that you can't avoid hearing it, because you need to notify the appropriate people that something bad is happening.
