==Korea==

The Korean War broke out in June of 1950, when the communist North invaded South Korea.  Placed in command of United Nations forces, MacArthur executed a brilliant manuever by invading the port of Inchon behind North Korean lines, and driving the communists back north.  Soon after this triumph, bickering would come between himself and President Harry Truman over how the war was to be fought, and engaging China, as MacArthur believed should happen, or in keeping it a limited war and China out of it, as Truman dictated.  The bickering came to a head on April 11, 1951, when Truman, citing his role as Commander in Chief, relieved MacArthur of command, resulting in a firestorm of controversy.  He was given a hero's welcome on his return, and the issue over is firing died away quickly after an address to a joint session of Congress, in which he announced his retirement with grace, stating "old soldiers never die, they just fade away," and like the old soldier in that refrain, MacArthur promised to fade away.
