        At least he would have exposed corruption, fought internal threats, and not blown the Korean situation like a certain Missouri haberdasher I know.

        You know who blew the Korean Situation? Mr. Prima Donna, Brass Hat, Five Star MacArthur. We would have had a real General and a fighting man if we had Wainwright and not a play actor and a bunko man such as MacArthur.

        Well considering Wainwright died in 1950, he might not have made the best choice.

        Fellow boomers: who remembers the relevant lyric in the "Car 54 Where Are You?" theme song? Hint: it references the airport and a nod to Russia in the same line.

        And I am sure that there were delays, gate changes and rude taxi drivers.

        Interesting how Truman had a massive display of US AirPower for the opening of the airport and the media was all positive glowing and congratulatory. Imagine the media and Democrat reactions if President Trump ordered the same today 🤔

        Or if he buzzed NYC in Air Force One sending people into a panic... did we ever find out who was aboard enjoying an apparent re-creation of 911?
