'The Army-McCarthy hearings were McCarthy's downfall. After his war with the Pentagon, the country was finally done with his anti-communist crusade,' says usatodayopinion contributor LarryTye
It was high-roller Joe McCarthy’s go-for-broke toss of the dice. In the fall of 1953, he put the U.S. Army in his crosshairs. He had already gone after the State Department, the Voice of America and the Truman White House, charging that each was infested with nests of communist moles. Now he was picking the most stouthearted and sacrosanct institution in America to make his closing case.
Many Americans readily accepted on McCarthy’s say-so that there was a Soviet plot reaching deep into the soul of our defense forces, even though that meant admitting that they too had been duped. What would we do without Joe? Others were aghast. This was the Army, after all, which had just waged a lethal war on the Korean Peninsula against gun-toting communists.
