General Macarthur Free World
590 wordsThroughout Truman's narration of his actions and decisions in regarding the Korean conflict, he strongly emphasizes that his first priority is to prevent a third world war. He addresses that the public has questioned his actions as to why he doesnt bomb the aggressors (line 5), but he assures that that would only instigate a major war, not help prevent one.

Containment was expressed through a variety of policies and institutions: economic, political and, of course, mili...

Clearly, the Truman administration had to pursue a strategy of military containment. However, internal politics dictated quite the opposite strategy.

Such an environment reduces the set of possible decisions so that there is only one favourable or acceptable decision (outcome) at any junction. Truman does decide whether to walk down a certain path or not. But when he does decide to walk only one path is available to him. His world is constrained and limited not his actions. Actually, Truman's only choice in the movie leads to an arguably immoral decisi...
