President Truman removed General Douglas MacArthur, for MacArthur treated the Korean War as another World War, in which he had to destroy his opposition no matter the cost (it being the communist regime, and the weapon being nuclear weapons). Truman, on the other hand, knew of the delicate usage of the nuclear weapons, and if they are used, the USSR will counter. This led to Truman removing MacArthur for rash behavior.
Castiglione thought that the ruling class should follow a standard of conduct.
Machiavelli believed that the rulers must look like they are generous but that they must do what they need to do to keep order.
