We never see a rogue trader caught who made a couple of billions doing unauthorized trades.

you should learn some history I happen to know history very well. believe your general fully intended to cross the yalu river as ostensibly rogue general as with any financial institution, the rogue trader is only rogue when the trade went bad and the bosses deny authorization yes? or did you skip that chapter, and funnily, the rogue general courageously figured he needed to use nukes not being satisfied with sordidly machine gunning women and children under stone bridges No, I didn't skip that chapter & am fully aware of the details. Any country at war makes any number of contingency plans and develops alternate scenarios for battle, most of which never get implemented. But your comment has absolutely nothing to do with the subject matter in my prior post in which I was responding to your insinuation that the US/UN invaded some peasant, stone age society. china sent troops to n.korea at the invitation of the government in charge, i.e. welcomed, in hamoon's language you obviously missed that chapter No, I didn't miss that chapter either & am fully aware of the relationship between NK & China. But again, your comment has absolutely nothing to do with the subject matter in my prior post in which I was responding to your insinuation that the US/UN invaded some peasant, stone age society. My very clear, historically factual correction of your comment simply stated that the US/UN didn't invade anyone & it was the communists that instigated the war be invading another society. Correct? re any korean women & children machine gunned under bridges by any courageous chinese or us generals search on google, "[country name] army atrocity korean war" Don't have to Google that because I am aware of that atrocity. It happened and was terrible. What also happened and was terrible is related to the comment I made in my prior post - "Are you proud of the fact that the more modern Chinese army invaded a closer-to-stone-age society defended by peasants (in an unmentionable part of Western China) and also killed a lot of women and children?" The Chinese army was responsible for the deaths of untold numbers innocent civilians. This too is a historical fact so I assume that, with you being concerned with historical accuracy, you would have to agree with this fact as well. Correct? Don't you agree that what the Chinese army did there happened and was terrible? Yes or no? If no, then I suggest it's you who needs to learn some history.

believe your general fully intended to cross the yalu river as ostensibly rogue general You can believe what you want to believe TJ.. But there's no historical evidence for MacArthur wanting to do anything more than to punish NK's communist regime for their invasion of the South, by overthrowing them and re-uniting the Korea peninsula. After all, is that what NK wanted to do? Overthrow the South and unite the peninsula under their communist rule? library.thinkquest.org en.wikipedia.org But China couldn't stand having a non-communist state on it's border, could it? They want their convenient "buffer" state. the rogue general courageously figured he needed to use nukes not being satisfied with sordidly machine gunning women and children under stone bridges And btw, I'm no big fan of MacArthur, but since China was siding with the aggressor, they had cast their lot AGAINST the unanimous vote of the United Nations. But no doubt that many of our Generals thought of tactical nukes as a better way of saving soldier's lives rather than sending them into the front lines. I think it was foolish, but not any more than China and the USSR thinking they had the right to force their ideology upon millions of people. We can see from the past 60 years of history in NK how that worked out.. And because China defied the will of the United Nations, the Korean people remain divided and only a tenuous cease fire now exists. A cease fire that could collapse at any time. And of course, it solidified US support of that unmentionable island nation that Bejing continues to intimidate to this day.. Hawk
