Can Americans explain why they got their asses kicked by a bunch

Millions of commies coming at you at once. There is no such thing as infinite ammo irl.
>Macarthur wanted to use nukes but Truman was a pussy

the USA was really stingy with weapons during the Korean war, for some reason. The generals kept asking for more firepower, and were denied. Also, the war became political, so politicians were directing where armor could and couldn't go , and stupid stuff like that.

Politics anon, politics. When you're not allowed to advance there's only one way left to go.

Coincidentally this war happened after we had a major budget cut to the armed services so there was a bit of a problem getting enough people to fight effectively

This. Also we were using battle rifles which really limits the amount of ammo a soldier can carry.

Because Americans suck at war. America has literally never won a real war in all of history. This is because Americans are undisciplined individualist retards and natural-born traitors (being all descended from literal traitors who turned their backs on their ancestral lands).

MacArthur wasn't given his nukes.

They overextended themselves and the chinese massed on the boarder and launched a massive counter-attack
Pockets of US troops were left stranded in north korea. Also the rate of US equipment failure was pretty high in things like support vehicles and tanks.
The US was using the m26 at the time and it was notorious to have it's automatic transmission break down to the point where it could only move if it went in reverse.

I lived next to an old Korean dude in college. Guy had an old rusty jeep as a decoration in his back yard. I asked him about it and he said that Jeep saved his life. Apparently when the Chinese advanced there were so many that ammunition and replacement gun barrels just ran out before chinese bodies did. He was trying to escape the advance when an American driving the jeep told him to get in. The weird part was that he said the Chinese soldiers that were advancing on his position didn't even have guns they had defective broom handles from a factory. They had been shelled and fired upon and just kept advancing. Anyone who wasn't fast enough was beat to death.

MacArthur crossed the Yalu River after being told by the Chinese not to and then got raped by 900,000 Chinese soldiers, and blamed it on Truman.
