I always thought that was absolutely crazy. He basically got the Medal of Honor for retreating and leaving his men behind.
The worst thing that MacArthur did was to reject the proposed MoH in 1942 for General Jonathan Wainwright -- a man who actually stayed behind, fought and suffered with his men, experienced the horrors of captivity with his men, and looked like a skeleton upon his liberation in 1945.
