Here we are fighting with each other while refighting the war. I knew about as much about that war than a hog knows about Sunday when I was fighting there. I suspect this is true with the rest of you.I have no idea how a 30-year-old officer felt when he looked at the faces of a bunch of 19-year-old kids, and decided which of them to send out on a dangerous night patrol. Now that I am older I realize this must have been an awesome responsibility.And an even more awesome responsibility fell on those officers who had to decide when and where to send 5,000 or 10,000 of these 19-year-old kids. These officers were soldiers, and I know they agonized over the deaths of the other soldiers who died as a result of these decisions.It is easy for writers to gather a lot of information, after the fact, and criticize officers who had to make decisions without the benefit of such information.Read Gen. MacArthur's Farewell Address to Congress about "leaving your gallant sons in Korea," and then judge him. He said we were "splendid in every way." I think it was splendid of him to say this.
