Almond inquired as to who would command X Corps, for he believed it essential that whoever it was become involved immediately in the planning.
Almond had no amphibious experience and precious little as a combat commander, and Inchon was one of the most complex amphibious plans in history.

 A Borinqueneer Christmas Carol
As far as the refugees are concerned, Almond strove to live up to his word to evacuate as many as he could when the option of a ground evacuation was ruled out for safety reasons.
[1] Almond was a “MacArthur man,” devoted to the general to the extent of overlooking his flaws, whereas Walker, Patton’s former protégé, was a more down-to-earth commander who knew his limits and was not afraid to express his reservations.
Moreover, MacArthur had allowed Almond to retain his title of Chief of Staff while serving as commander of the newly activated corps in a blatant display of favoritism that seemed to have armed Almond with even fewer inhibitions around officers of senior rank.

Aftergood's piece was basically a regurgitation of an article on the USS Liberty published that same week on the web site of The New Republic magazine.
For example, it would be important to know whether the author of the article, Michael Oren, who was harshly critical of my chapter on the Israeli military's role in the attack on the Liberty, has any ties to Israel himself.
What really disturbs me is the speed with which certain people are willing to run to Israel's defense while ignoring the heroic survivors of the USS Liberty -- and the relatives of those killed -- who have been pressing for a true, comprehensive investigation into the attack for more than 34 years.
