The pudlic thinks General MacGoogle Arthur was not given proper support to fight the Korean war, but he went ahead and won battles and knew what he was doing or. should do.

If democracy is to live there is a much more needed story on dishonesty in Government that would cover a book, but needs more ability to prepare.
