What Douglas A.MacArthur lacked in diplomacy,he made up for in EVERY other area!His brilliant strategy in The Pacific led to VICTORY!I don't want to minimize Nimitz's contributions,but it was really MacArthur's brilliance!!!

Douglas MacArthur's strategy was to get back to the Philippines, period. It was Nimitz and the Navy [and I'm an Army vet] that developed the strategy that brought Japan to its knees. Name one air strike on Japan that originated in the Philippines.
