　　I have just left your fighting sons in Korea. They have met all tests there, and I can report to you without reservation that they are splendid in every way.
　　It was my constant effort to preserve them and end this savage conflict honorably and with the least loss of time and a minimum sacrifice of life. Its growing bloodshed has caused me the deepest anguish and anxiety.
　　Those gallant men will remain often in my thoughts and in my prayers always.
　　I am closing my 52 years of military service. When I joined the Army, even before the turn of the century, it was the fulfillment of all of my boyish hopes and dreams. The world has turned over many times since I took the oath on the plain at West Point, and the hopes and dreams have long since vanished, but I still remember the refrain of one of the most popular barrack ballads of that day which proclaimed most proudly that amp。Donamp。 others, to avoid Soviet intervention. Neither explanation seems valid, for China is already engaging with the maximum power it can mit, and the Soviet will not necessarily mesh its actions with our moves. Like a cobra, any new enemy will more likely strike whenever it feels that the relativity in military or other potential is in its favor on a worldwide basis.
　　The tragedy of Korea is further heightened by the fact that its military action is confined to its territorial limits. It condemns that nation, which it is our purpose to save, to suffer the devastating impact of full naval and air bombardment while the enemyamp。quot。quot。39。 three removal of restrictions on air reconnaissance of Chinaamp。39。s wake, erected in Japan an edifice dedicated to the supremacy of individual liberty and personal dignity。 for any major breach of that line by an unfriendly power would render vulnerable to determined attack every other major segment.
　　This is a military estimate as to which I have yet to find a military leader who will take exception. For that reason, I have strongly remended in the past, as a matter of military urgency, that under no circumstances must Formosa fall under Communist control. Such an eventuality would at once threaten the freedom of the Philippines and the loss of Japan and might well force our western frontier back to the coast of California, Oregon and Washington.
　　To understand the changes which now appear upon the Chinese mainland, one must understand the changes in Chinese character and culture over the past 50 years. China, up to 50 years ago, was pletely nonhomogenous, being partmented into groups divided against each other. The warmaking tendency was almost nonexistent, as they still followed the tenets of the Confucian ideal of pacifist culture. At the turn of the century, under the regime of Chang Tso Lin, efforts toward greater homogeneity produced the start of a nationalist urge. This was further and more successfully developed under the leadership of Chiang KaiShek, but has been brought to its greatest fruition under the present regime to the point that it has now taken on the character of a united nationalism of increasingly dominant, aggressive tendencies.
　　Through these past 50 years the Chinese people have thus bee militarized in their concepts and in their ideals. They now constitute excellent soldiers, with petent staffs and manders. This has produced a new and dominant power in Asia, which, for its own purposes, is allied with Soviet Russia but which in its own concepts and methods has bee aggressively imperialistic, with a lust for expansion and increased power normal to this type of imperialism.
　　There is little of the ideological concept either one way or another in the Chinese makeup. The standard of living is so low and the capital accumulation has been so thoroughly dissipated by war that the masses are desperate and eager to follow any leadership which seems to promise the alleviation of local stringencies.
　　I have from the beginning believed that the Chinese Communistsamp。39。麥克阿瑟告別英語演講稿：老兵永不死　　Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, and Distinguished Members of the Congress:
