Let me first tell you I will ignore you "nose hair" comment. That sounds disgusting and vulgar.

Secondly, let me spell it out in plain English for you. The speech given by MacArthur although worthy at its face value did not mirror his military career. DUTY! Again, so it sinks in, DUTY!
What about disobeying direct orders not once but several times is related to duty? The man was a maverick. It is important you realize this distinction, because even the lowest grunt knows how to take orders.

I've been called an elitist pig, son of a bitch conservative and now a "leftist-claiming-liberal-superiority".

Do you know how his father won the Congressional Medal of Honor at the battle of Missionary Ridge?

Seems the union generals had decided the confederate position on top of the ridge were too strong to attack an ORDERED the troops not to attack. MacAuthors father was among the troops that when ahead and attacked anyway (DISOBEYING ORDERS) well with attack under way (AGAINST ODRERS) everyone got in to it and the union troops took the hill. For bravery in action the general father won the congressional medal of honor and a field commission. He later when on to become a Major General and Chief of Staff of the Army.
