During your initial research for a thesis paper you read through various articles on President Harry Truman's firing of general Douglas MacArthur one of the Articles presents numerous criticisms of Germans logic you read about the author and see that he once was

officer under Mac Arthur's command although this article presents and formation that supports your thesis what should you take into consideration

Answer 1

Truman may have fired MacArthur because Truman did not like having been previously under the order of MacArthur.

Answer 2

What you should take into consideration after looking at this source is that the source is likely to be biased. The author of the source that you want to use is someone who was once an officer under MacArthur's command. This means that he is unlikely to have an objective and detached view of the problem. Therefore, if you use this information, even if it supports your thesis, you might not be truly reflecting the reality of what the situation was like.
