MacArthur's vehement opposition to Wainwright's proposed award both surprised and stunned General Marshall. He withdrew the recommendation, and while General MacArthur prepared to keep his promise to return to the Philippines, General Wainwright was left to suffer alone in a Japanese prison camp.

MacArthur was utterly shameless.

It is difficult to argue with those who point out that Douglas MacArthur's Medal of Honor was a political move. It is far less difficult to argue the point that it was not deserved.

MacArthur made at least two major blunders that kept the Philippines from holding out longer or even repulsing the initial invasion. 1)He left his air force sitting on the ground hours after he knew about Pearl Harbor despite pleas to attack Taiwan. The Japanese were delayed by bad weather at their end, but when did arrive, our air forces were almost completely destroyed on the ground. 2) He initially planned to meet the Japanese at the Linguyan Gulf beachheads and stocked his ammo and supplies with this in mind. Then he retreated almost immediately to Bataan and abandoned a large part of these stocks to capture or destruction.
