You might want to check your history books. MacArthur didn't sacrifice any Marines in retaking the Philippines for one main reason. There were no Marines used in retaking the Philippines. The troops used on the ground to retake the Philippines were all US Army from the 6th & 8th Armies.

As for the defense of the Philippines in 1941-42, there was one under strength regiment (actually about battalion strength) of Marines present. That's compared to an entire regular army division (made up of mostly Filipinos except for one infantry regiment), a handful of regular army coastal artillery batteries and two army national guard light tank battalions. He also and 10 divisions of the Filipino army which for the most part were barely armed and woefully equipped.

I won't respond to the "substance" of this, to the extent that there is any, because it has already been refuted by others.
As to the tone, my response is that you should climb your hillbilly inbred cracker arse down off of your girlfriend/sister, climb into your 1983 model pickup truck with mud flaps and trashy bumper stickers, and take a ride down to what you would call the "liberry."
Don't stop for scratch off lottery tickets. Don't stop at Wal-Mart for new clothes. Don't stop for Schaefer Light. Go directly to the library and seek out a reference librarian. If one is not immediately available, go to the children's section and see if a fourth grader can help you improve your spelling while you wait. I realize that you started this thread after watching the History Channel, but if you try getting history from this thing called A BOOK you might learn something that is actually correct.
