No president would want Gen. MacArthur. The overrated nightmare of a general was insubordinate to three (!) presidents. The only general to attack U.S. civilians on U.S. soil. (Not part of the Civil War)

Wrong again Nick old boy! Any HONEST president who put American lives in harms way would want a winning general who had the intelligence to find the way to victory. He would not be such a prick as to defeat our troops by taking away their leadership. In the history of mankind, the far greater number of victories have been provided by the insubordinate. A WISE and STRONG President would find the right general and cut him loose on the enemy in order to be victorious. Patton was also crucified by the JEALOUSY and collusion of BRADLEY and Eisenhower. But Patton won the victories.
I have often said if MacArthur had been given free reign in Korea, we wouldn’t have had a Vietnam.
MacArthur was viewed as the “Republican General” so all the socialists, all the communists and quite a few Democrats disparage him. It is very telling that you do too nic. Seems your always against anyone that is truly pro American.
Are you referring to the "Bonus Marches?"
Wikipedia:
On July 28, U.S. Attorney General William D. Mitchell ordered the veterans removed from all government property. Washington police met with resistance, shots were fired and two veterans were wounded and later died. President Herbert Hoover then ordered the Army to clear the veterans' campsite. Army Chief of Staff General Douglas MacArthur commanded the infantry and cavalry supported by six tanks [commanded by Maj. George S. Patton].
During the military operation, Major Dwight D. Eisenhower served as one of MacArthur's junior aides. Believing it wrong for the Army's highest-ranking officer to lead an action against fellow American war veterans, he strongly advised MacArthur against taking any public role: "I told that dumb son-of-a-bitch not to go down there," he said later. "I told him it was no place for the Chief of Staff." Despite his misgivings, Eisenhower later wrote the Army's official incident report that endorsed MacArthur's conduct.

Well, I see that you are well trained by leftist propaganda and inter-service rivalries.
I assume you are talking about burning out the Bonus Army in Annacostia. George Patton was there too.
