====Korean War==== In April 1951, Truman sacked [[General Douglas MacArthur]] as the commander of the American forces in Korea over the question about whether to carry the war into China. At the time, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Omar Bradley, called war with China "the wrong war, at the wrong place, at the wrong time, and with the wrong enemy".<ref name="Langguth, A.J. p.69">Langguth, A.J. ''Our Vietnam 1954β1975'', New York: Simon and Schuster, 2000 p.69</ref> In May 1951, Rusk gave a speech at a dinner sponsored by the China Institute in Washington, which he had not submitted to the State Department in advance, where he implied the United States should unify Korea under [[Syngman Rhee]] and should overthrow [[Mao Zedong]] in China.<ref name="Langguth, A.J. p.69"/> Rusk's speech attracted more attention than he expected, as the columnist Walter Lippmann ran a column reading "Bradley vs. Rusk", accusing Rusk of advocating a policy of unconditional surrender in the Korean war.<ref name="Langguth, A.J. p.69"/> For embarrassing Acheson, Rusk was forced to resign and went into the private sector as the director of the Rockefeller Foundation.<ref name="Langguth, A.J. p.69"/>
