President Truman warned him several times not to disagree with government policy. General MacArthur continued to disagree and told reporters when he did. He often gave orders that were not approved by the president. MacArthur called for a total victory in Korea. He wanted to defeat communism in East Asia. He wanted to bomb Chinese bases in Manchuria and block Chinese ports. President Truman and his military advisers were concerned World War Three would start. In April, 1951, President Truman replaced MacArthur as head of the U.N. forces in Korea. Douglas MacArthur went home to the United States. It was the first time he had been there in more than 15 years. He was honored as a returning hero. He was invited to speak before Congress. There was a huge parade to honor him in New York City.麦克阿瑟将军通常不同意政坛领袖们的意见。杜鲁门总统多次警告他不要不同意政府的政策。但麦克阿瑟将军依旧不同意并在他不同意时去告诉记者。他经常发布未经总统签署的命令。麦克阿瑟希望在朝鲜取得完全的胜利，他想战胜东亚的共产主义。他想炸毁中国在东北的基地并封锁中国的港口。杜鲁门总统和他的军事顾问担忧第三次世界大战的爆发。在1951年四月，杜鲁门总统重新任命麦克阿瑟担任在朝鲜的联合国部队长官。道格拉斯·麦克阿瑟将军回到美国的家中，这是他首次待在那里超过15年。他被视作归来的英雄。他被邀请到国会发言。在纽约市还有一个盛大的游行来纪念他。
