In 1884, future President Harry S. Truman was born in Lamar, Missouri. Having dropped the bomb on five Japanese cities to close out World War 2, Truman was in no position to refuse UN Commander in Chief Douglas MacArthur who told him that the Chinese incursion meant that Korea was 'an entirely new war'. 'Brass Hat' requested the detonation of thirty to fifty nuclear weapons in Manchuria to end the Korean War. Actually, it was closer to fifty, and by the time Curtis 'Bombs Away' LeMay raised a similiar request to win the Vietnam War, President Barry Goldwater was forced to agree that they 'might as well finish the job by lobbing a couple in the men's room at the Kremlin' as well.
