Description | Cartoon shows Soviet leader Khrushchev, holding a can of paint labeled "Gen. Zhukov's Future," painting the words "Old Soldiers Never Die, They Just Fade Away" on a fence. The words come from an old song quoted by General Douglas MacArthur after he was removed from command by President Truman during the Korean War. Compares the removal of MacArthur with Khrushchev's removal of Zhukov from his post as defense minister in October 1957. Khrushchev probably feared the popularity of the World War II hero. |
