Was Douglas MacArthur sacked from office?
Gen. MacAurthur was given command of all UN forces at the start of the Korean war. He retained that command until Pres. Truman ordered his relief by Lieutenant General Matthew Ridgeway - effectively but not officially "sacking" him - on 10 April 1951. In the months prior to that MacArthur had written a letter critical of Pres. Truman's "limited war" strategy. The letter was released by a US Representative. Also, the Chinese had entered the war on the side of North Korea and the UN forces were being forced into retreat. Between the military setback and the political impact of his criticism of the President, the Joint Chiefs agreed with the President's request that MacArthur be replaced. Although there were reports that he was removed for insubordination, that was not actually the case. In a meeting with President Truman on 8 April 1951, two days before he was replaced, the Joint Chiefs met agreed that MacArthur was not guilty of insubordination and had stretched but not violated any orders. After being replaced by Ridgeway, MacArthur retired from the military.
