I was thinking about the Korean War and how MacArthur nearly set off WW3 by pushing for the Yalu. What if there was a different commander, what if there was... Patton?

PoD butterfly away his car accident, he stays in the Army, probably the Army of Occupation in Germany. 1950 NK invades and MacArthur (I doubt this would change if Patton survived) as the on-the-ground commander flies to SK to lead the defence.
His plane crashes. Truman, looking around for a replacement and with Eisenhower retired picks the most famous and respected General left in the US Army. What happens?
