And MacArthur was absolutely horrific, probably one of the worst generals we ever had.

MacArthur was a Republican who quarreled with Truman so historians will never give him any credit.

Philippines in 41'-42' he was saddled with the incompetent Brereton in command of his Air Forces who when ordered to disperse the B-17's instead kept most of them at Clark so he could party with their officers and hit on their wives.

The New Guinea campaign was actually a masterpiece. He never lost an amphibious assault at a time when that was a synonym for epic disaster.

Then there was Inchon.
