Although I don't have the reference to hand, General MacArthur was given intelligence that Chinese troops were boarding trains and would soon be in Korea.
He dismissed this idea. It was only after Chinese troops appeared on the battlefield that he reacted. He was considering using atomic bombs to eliminate them.
When word of this reached President Truman, he relieved him of command.
