Got run out of the Philippines. Got run out of South Korea.....TWICE. Got his butt handed to him by the Chinese in North Korea. Got fired for insubordination.

War hero?

[Olog-hai]

So he did not come back and win?

You’d rather a glorious last stand and lose versus a tactical retreat to win later? No strategy; just blunder in and fight until exhausted?

As for the supposed “insubordination”, that’s garbage.

… (T)here are five essentials for victory:

1. He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight.
2. He will win who knows how to handle both superior and inferior forces.
3. He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks.
4. He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take the enemy unprepared.
5. He will win who has military capacity and is not interfered with by the sovereign. …

— The Art of War, III:17

— IBID., VIII:3

Opus?

War hero?
