I agree, Mac was lucky that the conditions were right, and that the North Koreans were not prepared.

Macs problems were that he thought ha was god, and thought that since he was god, that he would be allowed to do anything he pleased. Well Truman made Mac think differently, when he fired him in Korea.

The man with the huge ego, wanted to drop some A-Bombs on Chinas border as sort of a limited war. Thats insane and assinine to say the least. Personally, I am glad Mac was fired.
