Another thing, do you know who was one to the first to set foot in Japan in 45? Yup MacAuthor, MacAuthor arrived long before the US troops. The Japanesse would not look at him, they feared death would result from looking at such at great warrior. How many commanders would enter a defeated nation that had not yet laid down it's arms. And enter with only a handful of troops? The general did not lack courage.

Are you serious? Did you realize that the Japanese had already surrendered? Do you all know why MacArthur did not get the ETO leadership and it was given to lower level officer (Eisenhower)? Because MacArthur could not follow orders! Both Political parties knew it and witnessed it.
It seems some of you on this thread have decided that following and hero worship is more important than thinking and understanding a tragic character flaw in MacArthur.
