MacArthur didn't like the Navy in general and Marines in particular. He made sure the Marine units under his command got as little recognotion as possible.
MacArthur had a habit of freezing like a deer in the headlights under pressure. He did in the Phillipines and again in Korea when the Chinese attacked. OTOH he was not a coward. He intended to stay and die in the Phillipines until ordered out. He fully expected to be brought home and courtmartialed. Instead. Roosevelt gave him a Medal of Honor.
