<<But Prez Harry Truman fired him, replacing him with General Matthew Ridgeway, an opportunist.>> ???

From all I've read, Ridgeway rotated out the incompetent leadership, reversed a serious decline in morale, and executed a realistic strategy that was a positive turning point in the war. Ridgeway and MacArthuer had great respect for each other, before and after MacArthur's dismissal.
