Mac may have been a bit of a “perfumed prince” but he fared better than Patton as things turned out; Far from a failure.

Patton actually outranked Ike at the close of WWII, due to his wartime rank/promotions remained RA, whereas Ike’s were US rank/promotion and to be reverted to actual RA rank.

Anyway, Patton failed only due to his questionable demise and failure to become POTUS. He had intended to resign not retire from the Army.
Such is life, politics, etc.

MacArthur was right and Truman totally wrong

United States will not survive a nuke attack on any city
The economic disaster and shear panic that follows will not be survivable

What does “RA rank” mean?

The Army uses RA for regular army, and US for those drafted/appointed temporary ranks during strength buildups, etc.

I’m retired USMC myself, The Corps used USMCR designation for those during WWII that were not in on regular enlistments; just in for the duration.

I think that if NK were to nuke the USA they will
try for Alaska or Guam, not the lower 48 states.
I think they would have a better chance of hitting something
than with an uncertain ballistic flight across the vast Pacific Ocean.

Trying for New York or Washington --- I don't believe
they can do it. But with the Russia or China giving them
the tech; well that's another issue.

As for panic in America from a NK strike. We needn't worry.
NK would be a smoldering ruin within 30 minutes
of any attack on the USA. There would be no
worry of another attack from them.

Hopefully we can stall it off long enough that President Winfrey will have to deal with it.

I agree. I find this thesis unconvincing, NK leaders may be violent and sociopathic but that does not make them candidates for suicide.

Seconded

I have no idea what NK short, medium and long term goals are, but I suspect the current round of tensions were caused by NK trying something that has worked in the past for them. Clinton, Bush and Obama all had NK act threateningly then paid them to go away. I have seen claims (no idea if they are true) that NK tells their own people this is tribute. Trump's grade school rejoinders are not what they expected, and I suspect they are as perplexed as many US analysts about where they go from here.
