My first ever overseas tour was at Clark Air Base, north of Manila. I think it was on 4 July 1962 when I was coming out of a bar in Angeles and there was a big commotion. The General himself was riding down the main, muddy drag there, in an open car, looking very regal. The Filipinos adored the man.
Always wondered what a McAurthur presidency would have been like.
The way he re-built Japan was amazing
