Gen. Douglas MacArthur "dug out dug"

Can we all agree the dugout Doug was a huge piece of shite. A coward and a traitor. I'm watching the pacific on history channel and was reminded of just how big a piece of shite dug out Doug was.
Why in the hell do some people see him as a hero. Abandoning his men on Batan and all the Marines he sacrifice retaking a island that didnt have to be taken. He did it out of pure pride. Sacrificed fathers,brothers and husbands for his pride. Not to mention he put himself in for a MOH for his bull shite heroic actions. 7 silver stars and a arse load more of stolen valor medals. And for some reason he has a monument at his grave site honing his **** arse as some american hero.
P.s. Screw you dug out doug

Are you MacArthur's ex-wife or something?

I thought he died.
Wasn't he killed in action? A hero?

Buddy of mine's grandfather LINK served under him in Korea and apparently thought he was pretty much the worst human being alive.
I always liked his flair, though.

Agreed. Dude gets way too much credit. Curtis LeMay and Admiral Hausley did more to win the war.

I agree he was overrated and agree with most of what you said. However, he only left the Philippines on the direct order of the President himself. The reasons he was ordered out was (1) FDR wanted him in Australia to command what would they thought would be the defense of Australia and later the American counterpunch from the south once the Japanese advance had been stopped and (2) FDR did not want to give the Japanese the propaganda victory of capturing one of our highest ranking officers.

Look up the Battle of Inchon. Get back to me.

I have a problem with his CMH. It was political cover for his unassing the Philippines under fire.

How was he a traitor?

It's generally pretty good strategy to not let officer's in general command get captured. It's always good strategy when them getting captured would be for the sake of pride.

This is another matter entirely, and I agree with you - this was a waste of fine Marines, and he never really answered to anyone for it, simply because he was so popular and powerful, no one would dare cross him/call him out.

He kicked arse in Korea. He wanted to continue and finish them off but everyone drug their feet and allowed the Chinese to reinforce North Korea.
He was only 30 miles from the Chinese border when he was ordered to stop.

He was a great thundering paradox of a man, noble and ignoble, inspiring and outrageous, arrogant and shy, the best of men and the worst of men, the most protean, most ridiculous, and most sublime. No more baffling, exasperating soldier ever wore a uniform. Flam- boyant, imperious, and apocalyptic, he carried the plumage of a flamingo, could not acknowledge errors, and tried to cover up his mistakes with sly, childish tricks. Yet he was also endowed with great personal charm, a will of iron, and a soaring intellect. Unquestionably he was the most gifted man- at- arms this nation has produced.
The opening of Manchester's biography of MacArthur.
