Interesting quote:

"I think it's fair to say MacArthur panicked. At one point in late December he's asking Truman to target 26, ah, different areas within China for the dropping of nuclear bombs. "

There are many other references out there...

Perienial Pessimism and the panic it causes can lead to some really bad decision making.
