Because MacArthur wanted to liberate South Korea completely, completely beat North Korea. However, when the U.S. army was close to victory, China joined forces with N. Korea. Truman then wanted to draw out from Korea to avoid conflict with China. However, MacArthur wanted to drop atomic bombs on China and start a war with them as well.
