What is meant by the modern term referred


"For those who fight for it, life has a 
flavor the protected will never know."


What is meant by the modern term referred
to as 'POLITICAL CORRECTNESS'.  
Although I consider myself fluent in English, that term 
was not in my vocabulary. Someone found this definition
in 4 telegrams at the Truman Library and Museum in 
Independence Missouri. The following are copies of four 
telegrams between President Harry Truman and Gen 
Douglas MacArthur on the day before the actual signing 
of the WWII Surrender Agreement in September 1945.  
The contents of those four telegrams below are exactly 
as received at the end of the war - not a word has been 
added or deleted! 
  
(1) Tokyo,Japan 
0800-September 1,1945 
To: President Harry S Truman  
From: General D A MacArthur 
Tomorrow we meet with those yellow-bellied bastards 
and sign the Surrender Documents, any last minute 
instructions? 
  
(2) Washington, D C 
1300-September 1, 1945 
To: D A MacArthur 
From: H S Truman  
Congratulations, job well done, but you must tone down 
your obvious dislike of the Japanese when discussing 
the terms of the surrender with the press, because some 
of your remarks are fundamentally not politically correct! 
  
(3) Tokyo, Japan  
1630-September 1, 1945 
To: H S Truman 
From: D A MacArthur and C H Nimitz 
Wilco Sir, but both Chester and I are somewhat confused, 
exactly what does the term politically correct mean? 
  
(4) Washington, D C 
2120-September 1, 1945 
To: D A MacArthur/C H Nimitz 
From: H S Truman      
Political Correctness is a doctrine, recently fostered by 
a delusional, illogical minority and promoted by a sick 
mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition 
that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of shit by 
the clean end!

Now, with special thanks to the Truman Museum 
and Harry himself, you and I finally have a full 
understanding of what 'POLITICAL CORRECTNESS' 
really means...
