Of course. And that's one of the reasons why Truman didn't allow

Uh, you may want to consider reading a little about the Korean War. We
did push past the 38th parallel, way past. China didn't enter the war
until we were approaching the Yalu River. Oh, and MacArthur may have been
a great General, but he forgot, in this country, the President is the
Commander in Chief..


Why didn't we send ground forces north of the 17th parallel? Why didn't
we bomb the hell out of the North with our B-52's?

LOL, perhaps it is because the B-52 wasn't quite yet in our inventory.
