In reality, MacArthur was a brave man. I recall reading a story about an infantryman in the Pacific. I believe it was during the New Guinea campaign. Anyway, the infantryman was advancing through hostile jungle, and he glanced to his side. There was MacArthur, doing a little recon of his own with a few staff officers.
I knew someone who was a survivor of the Bataan Death March and a Japanese POW camp. He didn’t have a high opinion of General MacArthur.
“In reality, MacArthur was a brave man. “
MacArthur was a pompous idiot.
