A Date To Be Remembered: Harry Truman Fired General Douglas MacArthur 57 Year Ago Today, To Please The British

April 11, 2008 (LPAC)--On April 11, 1951, at 1:00 a.m., President Harry Truman announced the firing of U.S. Supreme Commander Douglas MacArthur, inflicting damage on the U.S. military from which it has never recovered.

"Truman was getting rid of patriots he couldn't deal with otherwise," American statesman Lyndon LaRouche said. "It was a [Winston] Churchill operation. Churchill hated MacArthur, and Truman did Churchill a favor."

This will be the subject of the Editorial in the upcoming EIR.
