I will agree that MacArthur was caught with his pants down in the phillipines and should have been on high alert after Pearl Harbor. His actions thereafter and his pure military genius at Inchon and throughout Korea more than made up for it.
He was an arrogant prick. He also used that arrogance and persona to quickly bring japan to heel postwar and rescue half the korean continent from the reign of the dear leaders...aka annihiliation.
Long story short..OP has limited perspective and is basing his entire opinion of a complex historical figure off of an HBO miniseries.
