They didn’t interview MacArthur about the war in Europe and how it should be conducted. Idiotic article, very deceptive, and ignores the reality that all of this was in a Cold War context designed to placate Japan. Also, every single person interviewed was a geezer who faced no personal danger whatsoever from the planned invasion of Japan.
“They didn’t interview MacArthur about the war in Europe and how it should be conducted.”
Maybe they did and maybe they didn’t.
But why don’t you look up whether or not the MacArthur quote is genuine?
“Idiotic article, very deceptive, and ignores the reality that all of this was in a Cold War context designed to placate Japan.”
I think that’s a good point. That’s a better way to argue against an n article than to insist it’s quotes are fictious without proving they’re fictious.
“Also, every single person interviewed was a geezer who faced no personal danger whatsoever from the planned invasion of Japan.”
True. But do you really think they thought so little of American lives? I think it would be interesting for someone to look and see if the MacArthur quote was genuine and if it was look into why MacArthur was so determined to use atomic weapons in South China/North Korea just 5 years later.
