<span>Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s farewell address to Congress on April 19, 1951. MacArthur was invited to speak to a Joint Session of Congress after he was fired by President Harry Truman for having made critical statements about Truman’s policies as it related to the Korean War. MacArthur spoke eloquently in his speech about the nobility of the American Soldier, and closed with his famous statement, “Old Soldiers never die, they just fade away.” This speech is a masterpiece of public speaking, whatever you think of Truman’s decision to fire MacArthur.</span>

Answer:

He wanted to justify his recommendations for expanding the Korean War.

Explanation:

When Truman announces his decision to the American people, he points out that the United States wants to avoid a third world war and that General MacArthur disagrees with that policy. But the nation treats MacArthur as a hero. When MacArthur addresses Congress, he receives a standing ovation. Approval of the president drops.

He wanted to explain why he was right and Pres. Truman was wrong.
