My dad fought under MacArthur in the Leyte Campaign. He never said a bad word about him. I have long since obtained a graduate degree in American History. It is my belief that while MacArthur certainly had some unsavory personal characteristics, he was an excellent strategist and tactician. No other general in the Pacific compares to him at the operational or strategic level. Trying to compare the PTO to the ETO for generals, is apples to oranges. Two completely different wars.
Agreed.
