US Army General Douglas MacArthur was relieved of command. He told President Truman that Red China would not enter the war. They did. MacArthur then stated he was prepared to invade Red China, if need be, and use nuclear weapons to win the war. The Commander in Chief relieved MacArthur of command. US Army General WALKER was killed in a jeep accident in Korea. The US Army M-41 Walker Bulldog light tank was named after him. The M-41 Walker Bulldog light tank was used by the ARVN (South Vietnamese Army) during the Vietnam War. US Forces used the M-48 Patton tank and the M-551 Sheridan Tank in the Vietnam War. In the film (movie) "Full Metal Jacket", when the US Marines are walking behind Marine tanks while re-taking the city of HUE, those are M-41 Walker Bulldog tanks. They are "supposed to be" M-48 Patton tanks. But Hollywood can't always get what they want when making a movie.
