MacArthur has to be at the top of US military commanders. He fought against an enemy far more numerous; he fought with very meager supplies and a long way from his main source of supply; and he was the first to successfully integrate air, land, and sea power on a consistent basis. He was not afraid to take great risks and his casualties were low.

Agreed. Douglas MacArthur was a modern military genius. That is not hyperbole.
