It was General Douglass MacArthur. Truman relieved him of commander after he publicly opposed Truman's strategies in the Korean War. Check out his bio on Wikipedia.

General MacArthur and it was more than that. He was told not to go past a certain point and disobeyed. President Trueman was completely in the right in firing him.
