Obviously the idiots who write this have no idea how MacArthur loved the Phillipine people, and he was revered by them as well.

While there’s a lot of BS in this article. There’s also a lot of truth to it.
The whole invasion of the PI was unnecessary.
US plans called to hop over PI to Japan.
MacArthur convinced the Prez. to let him keep his “ I Shall Return” promise.
The lives lost on all sides was nothing more that a photo op for MacArthur.

MacArthur was a bumbling primadonna idiot.
Not only did he lose the PI having superior forces and the initiative. Just to prove the first time wasn’t a fluke. He almost did the same in Korea.
