MacArthur and it's not close. Lost the Phillipines, nearly lost Korea, fired for insubordination.

This is my choice also.
If he hadnt split the troops up so much or advanced to the Chinese border then the Korean peninsula might look very different today.

He also had a plan to drop atomic bombs on 50 Chinese targets...considering circumstances today, it might not have been a bad idea after all.

Absolutely MacArthur.
The number of lives wasted for his campaign to satisfy his ego instead of bypassing most of that death following the Navy's plan really cements his place on the mountain of shite.
