Snorri Godhi: Is that a joke? Truman?

The President who appointed Louis Johnson Sec of Defense – who literally destroyed the U.S. military after WWII. And tried to disband the Marine Corps.

Together, Truman and Johnson came within a hair’s breath of losing the Korean War outright. Luckily the USMC pulled their bacon out of the fire.

Truman is hugely overrated.
