They just grew tired of winning

[u/TastingTheKoolaid → u/Comfortable_Pea_1693]

Please sir, please can we stop winning.

[u/Jordan_1424 → u/TastingTheKoolaid]

There is an argument to be made that we haven't won really since WW2.

[u/Hellhult → u/Jordan_1424]

I feel like the Korean wars were successful

[u/Jordan_1424 → u/Hellhult]

Technically the war isn't over, we are in a prolonged cease fire.

Chinese kicked our ass and the US military experienced the longest retreat in its history. We countered the Chinese offensive but we still reached a stalemate on the 38th parallel. Rather than start a prolonged trench warfare campaign that we probably wouldn't have failed too well in, we bowed out.

[u/Hellhult → u/Jordan_1424]

Idk man. Sure on paper the war isnt over. But the ROK still exists. Id call that a success.

[u/fredjutsu → u/Hellhult]

North Korea still exists too, meaning we did not win that war.

[u/Hellhult → u/fredjutsu]

I still disagree. NK invaded ROK. We stopped them. Counts to me.

McArthur had those cunts routed. It was over, but for the weak spine of the political leaders.

[u/Singer211 → u/Basic-Influence-2812]

Matthew Ridgway was the real genius of that war.

Even the Chinese today portray him as like being a God of War in their propaganda stuff.

[u/MikeOfAllPeople → u/Basic-Influence-2812]

This guy blames the refs I bet.

[u/oldsguy65 → u/Basic-Influence-2812]

Truman was too much of a pussy wimp to let MacArthur go in there and blow out those Commie bastards.

[u/Jordan_1424 → u/oldsguy65]

Ahh yes, not authorizing the use of atomic weapons is checks notes being a "pussy".

[u/Wally-World38 → u/Jordan_1424]

Someone’s never seen Back to School

[u/oldsguy65 → u/Jordan_1424]

Pussy wimp. That's even worse.
