How did the firing of General MacArthur affect the US?
Douglas MacArthur was relieved of commanding in Korea, he was not necessarily fired but he did choose to retire eventually. It did allow the morale of the military in Korea to rise some when a new commander was put into place. The soldiers did not want to be there and wanted to go home and were not well trained or experienced. The people in the USA had begun to want their people out of Korea. McArthur's departure from Korea did not affect the world as much as it did the soldiers in Korea and the Korean people.
Did South Korea want to be communist?
South Korea fought communist during Korean War.
Who had the best strategy in the Korean War Truman or MacArthur?
Truman had been an artillery Captain with the Missouri Army National Guard; but was a politician at heart. MacArthur was a born and bred fighting man. His father had won the Medal of Honor during the US Civil War. True fighting men like Grant, Sherman, Patton and MacArthur made better soldiers than politicians. Moderate fighting men like Eisenhower, Bradley, and Truman made better politicians than soldiers. MacArthur would win wars, but we didn't WANT A WAR in Korea. The "fighting man" inside MacArthur couldn't or wouldn't see that. The "Politician" inside Truman could see it very clearly; Korea could lead to nuclear war. The wrong war, at the wrong place, at the wrong time, with the wrong people. For a LIMITED WAR (the only kind one can fight in the ATOMIC AGE) Truman had the best strategy. It ended with an Armistice in 1953. MacArthur would NOT have fought a LIMITED WAR; he would have invaded Red China and used Atomic Bombs.
Why was the Korean war very controversial topic for Americans?
The Korean War was fought during the Cold War era from 1950 to 1953. It was frustrating for American because they did not achieve a complete victory as in previous wars, such as WW1 and WWII. The war was ended through an armistice that established the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea.

Who was not an outstanding American leader during the nations war years?
Mr. Magoo and Mickey Mouse. I know you want a real answer but I don't know which kind of leaders you mean or which wars you are talking about. I would say our worst leader during Viet Nam were President Nixon and Lyndon Johnson. General MacArthur lost his glory in the Korean War. As for our current war I would say the current president but remember this is a personal opinion not the opinion of others and the answers corporation.
