Big Mac got his ass handed to him in the Philippines AND in the Korean Peninsula. He was just lucky the Marine Corps was there, and not reading Macs press releases about what a good job MacArthur was doing.

My father was a an army staff sargent who was standing on the beach when McArthur returned. He fought for McArthur all across the Pacific. Actually spoke with him on a number of ocasions and greatly admired the man. He thought Truman was a fool for not listening to McArthur.


In clear 20/20 hindsight, Big Mac was right, Truman just a politician.
