Truman fire MacArthur from Korean war?
Yes. MacArthur's success in total war was brilliant, but he did not grasp the concept of limited war which was necessary in the nuclear age. After much disagreement on the conduct of the war, Truman relieved him of command and replaced him with Ridgway.
What were Truman's actions at the beginning of the UN police action?
The Korean War was the world's first war of the ATOMIC AGE. And, and as a result of the nuclear weapons, had to be "limited" to "Conventional Weapons" only; thus creating the first "Limited War." Vietnam would be the second. President Truman, unfamiliar with the new rules of warfare in the Atomic Age (Limited verses Fighting to win/total war) mis-termed it a police action. Which is what our military is conducting in the 21st century; restoring law, order, and stability to a country or region. Truman conducted the Korean War as he should have, as Commander in Chief.
Who fired General MacAruther and why?
General MacArthur led the UN forces in the Korean War. His plan was to completely attack China. He proposed to bomb them and take charge in the war. The UN and President Truman opposed his plan and constructed a limited war only to Korea. MacArthur, being his very rioty and outspoken self, confronted Truman's plan directly and criticised his thoughts publically. With the disagreement and the opposition, Truman fired MacArthur for his outburst and his opposition for the limited war.

What president called his war in Korea a police action?
Harry S. Truman
What was the nickname of the Vietnam war?
Because President Truman, nor anyone else knew what to call a war in which ALL WEAPONS could "not be used" to win it, such as the existing atomic bomb; for the lack of a better word, Truman chose Police Action. The words "LIMITED WAR" were also used; which was more correct...as the Korean War was America's first limited war (limited to the use of NON-Nuclear Weapons). A police action is actually what is occurring in Iraq; an action against insurgents and terrorists to restore law, order and stability to the nation of Iraq. But again, President Truman and all others at the time, never experienced atomic warfare, limited war, nor even communists. All they knew was "Declared" and "Total Wars", such as World War's One and Two. Both of which President Truman experienced; once as a Captain of artillery in WW1, and once as Vice President of the US under President F. D. Roosevelt.
