Concise.. and,
You Bet!

Dunno what a couple generations since 'have been taught' in retrospect, nor if modrin-schooled folk really graduate HS with just a few factoids ever mentioned.

Mac Arthur ("Old soldiers never die.." quip at West Point, post-firing), brilliant strategist (Inchon Landing--pincer)/megalomaniac:
had so blatantly in-subordinated HST, that his firing was a self-inflicted Necessity. Via hubris.
Had he proceeded all the way to Chinese border, and against massed-millions/thus the spectre of our using ""tactical""-nukes..
Indubitably Chinese-via-USSR counter-nukes would follow.

Etc. As I say, hope those born ~~70s were exposed to more history than Unix-level simplicities--somewhere along the way.

(All a dry-run for our ascending to --> Empire/World-Cop/Oil-opportunist with polished, sanctimonious propaganda oil-ing the path.)
