Douglas MacArthur opposed bombing Hiroshima because he believed it was unnecessary and could undermine the post-war occupation and reconstruction efforts in Japan. He was concerned that such an attack could foster resentment and complicate Japan's transition to democracy. Additionally, MacArthur favored a strategy that emphasized the importance of winning the hearts and minds of the Japanese people rather than relying solely on military might.

Who did Douglas MacArthur want the US to go after during the Korean war?
During the Korean War, General Douglas MacArthur advocated for expanding the conflict by pursuing North Korean forces into China. He believed that defeating the Chinese forces would lead to a swift victory and a more definitive resolution to the war. His desire to take the war into China, however, was met with significant opposition from President Harry S. Truman and other U.S. leaders, who feared it could escalate into a larger conflict with the Soviet Union. This difference in strategy ultimately contributed to MacArthur's dismissal in April 1951.
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.
