Staff Only

General Bradley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, gave a speech that was similar to General MacArthur's but followed the administration's "party line." He expressed concern about the situation in Korea but did not offer clear solutions. Bradley criticized MacArthur and implied that he wanted to provoke a larger war. The speech was seen as inconsistent and reflective of the administration's viewpoint. Bradley claimed he was not discussing foreign policy, but military policy, yet still followed the party line.
