I filmed this in a meditation cave at Dieng Plateau, Central Java, Indonesia.
The only general to start a war against poor U.S. veterans.
The most overrated U.S. general of all time.
I never liked this guy.
I give him credit for keeping the casualty lists low through both his island-hopping campaigns and his strategy in Korea (Inchon).
and for his governing of Japan after the war. (Emperor Hirohito came out to see him off at the airport when he left — unprecedented).
and for being a symbol for the US to rally to, when we were losing everything in the Pacific and had no way to resist in early 1942.
His personality, however, and his acting abilities, must result in some downvotes. . .
Yes, whatever you think of MacArthur, he did a great job in Japan after the war.
You mean how he started the whole abortion movement, by legalizing abortion in Japan?
If he had been allowed to do his job, we wouldn’t be dealing with a communist China now.
Book, “American Caesar”.
Stop drinking leftist koolaid.
Why? Are you a navy guy?
Rather than relying on what a leftist historian wants you to believe, why not read what his reporting officers thought of him.
“I studied dramatics under him” — Eisenhower
His father was a genuwine “bad-a%^”

Whatever it is stop because you don't know what you are writing about.
Aside from Truman, where did other presidents claim insubordination? Truman, the president who let China go communist claimed MacArthur was insubordinate for regarding a full on attack by Red China as an act of war requiring a full response by the US.
As for the bonus army, by the time the bonus protesters were cleared out, the actual veterans had left and been replaced by the Antifa type looking for a fight... and they got one.
As for his command record, are you a navy guy envious of his record, or has all your info on him come from leftist sources?
IF you want to quote movie lines, "Best clerk I ever had" - MacArthur
And Mac Jr, was the most decorated US soldier of WWI.
I know of his policy arguements in public with Truman. Who were the other two presidents he defied?
And don't refer to some movie as proof.
Only general to let the Japanese hit Clark Air Base and destroy much of the AAF planes to be destroyed on the ground 9 hrs after Pearl Harbor.
Also ignored all evidence that Chinese were across the Yalu infiltrating to attack.
There was more than a little ass in Mac.
