The pompous, arrogant SOB was Truman.
Truman was not pompous nor arrogant he was President and MacArthur refused to obey orders. MacArthur was a great soldier but he was too big for his britches and it got him fired. Whether he was right or not doesnt enter into the equation. The President is Commander in Chief and soldiers take orders. Macarthur's statue should be brought home , but not to the Mall . It should go to West Point. After all didnt Macarthur once say his thoughts were of the Corps. The Corps. and the Corps.?
