S2·E24 The Korean War 052 - MacArthur Fades, Ceasefire Hopes Rise - June 17, 1951

Aired June 17, 2025

Synopsis

The UN troops continue their advance to the Kansas Line, meeting no resistance at Pynoggang, but heavy resistance beyond it inside the Iron Triangle. 8th Army Commander Jim Van Fleet does not want to advance much beyond where they are now, though, since territory further north would be tougher to defend, should ceasefire talks begin. And Douglas MacArthur continues to tour the states, but to ever smaller crowds.
