Korean War:
Gen.Ridgeway led the 82 Airborne during WWII and won fame with actions in Sicily and Normandy. In Korea he led the 8th Army until Gen.MacArthur was removed. At that point he took over the UN Command. His troops were demoralized from the Chinese intervention and were pushed back into South Korea. Under Gen.Ridgeway the Chinese would be thrown out of South Korea and an armistice would be negotiated.
