Excellent. In Normandy he was on a destroyer and they made quite a sport of exchanging rounds with a German shore battery. But when they started to fall a bit close to the ship the Captain thought better of it and got out of range.

Truman was an unprepared idiot. FDR kept him mostly out of day to day matters so when he had to take over he had no idea what was going on, or of any previous arrangements. He shouldn't have turned over all the Germans, Polish, and everyone else to the Russians to be murdered, and he should have taken a harder stance right away when the entire army was still there and forced the Russians to have free elections in Europe. Especially Poland because that was the entire point of the war in Europe. Also when it became clear what the Russians were up to they should have just taken a blatant territory grab deep into Germany in Feb/March of 1945. Because of his actions the Russians essentially settled wherever there military was in May of 1945 not to be dislodged until 1990. Truman also screwed the US military in Korea and up to that point.

2. The breaking of the treaty in Korea was the Communist invitation to the Cold War, which Truman accepted, having eviscerated the war machine. This is what set-up our horrific losses in Korea - incursion by our small, poorly equipped and marginally trained army and marine corps which was inadequately supported logistically because the knucklehead had deactivated most of the Navy. 3. If those are the only two choices you can imagine then you and Truman are exactly on the same page. |

You don't have to start a war to negotiate. Instead we just rolled over and let the Russians do whatever they wanted.
