It is that it was the most difficult high/low tide change in the world for an invasion, and the entire U.S. Military&nbsp; Chiefs of Staff and&nbsp; POTUS did not expect success, and many senior officers were not in agreement with the plan. While the U.S. Navy landing analysts thought there may be a chance, and&nbsp; assisted in preparing invasion plans, General MacArthur relied heavily on (and trusted) the local South Korean&nbsp; fishermen and villages, who also took part by supplying manned fishing vessels of every type to ferry military forces if required, and to serve as messengers. Those local fishermen? They&nbsp; were right.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
