He asserted that under our Constitution, men in suits controlled men in uniforms. He fired the war hero, and the conservatives of that day wanted MacArthur to run for president in 1952. Cooler heads prevailed, and MacArthur faded away.

Second time in a week I've heard this argument. Are there ANY dims who learned that in 1952 a former general was elected president from the Republican party?

It's a fascinating arguement isn't it, which GENERAL was more suited to replace the HABERDASHER then occupying the White White House, base on dress.

Me, I'd probably have supported MacArthur.

He was a neocon, after all.
