General Macarthur Free World

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.

This paper will examine the untimeliness of the bomb as manifested in postwar regret and nuclear warfare. The surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, thrust the United States into World War II, and thus helped reshape modern warfa...
