Was MacArthur against containment

General Douglas MacArthur was not fundamentally against the policy of containment but had a more aggressive approach to communism, particularly during the Korean War. He believed that containment was too passive and advocated for a more decisive military strategy that included potential actions against China. This difference in strategy ultimately led to his dismissal by President Truman, as MacArthur's views were seen as inconsistent with the administration's containment policy.
