He might have been the most dangerous man alive after WW2 and frankly ANYONE in the west even slightly like him should be kept under surveillance forever. Maybe even stripped of any kind of authority.

That man was a demon.

      He wanted to nuke Korea and thought East Asians were sub humans, among many other despicable things

        Well in that case I would echo the notion to add Patton to the list. AFAIK he petitioned the government to “push the Russkies back”, namely waaay past the actual Soviet borders.

          Not only that; against orders and set missions, he kept trying to creep up into China during the Korean war to troll out a final confrontation with communism. He was doing everything short of going full rogue to trigger a nuclear holocaust in Asia.
