McArthur was a narcissistic blowhard who was the president of his own fan club. He would have screwed things up in Europe to the point of changing history, and possibly losing to Germany or ending up fighting a prolonged war with Stalin. Of course, Patton was also a big fan of steamrolling Russia while they were weak and disorganized from slugging it out with Germany, but Patton could have won that fight. About the only thing that stopped Patton from invading Russia againat Ike's orders was the fact his fuel supplies got cut off. Some of Patton's tanker troops who were employed by our family auto mechanics business in the early 1950s said they didn't even have enough gasoline to run the auxiliary engine that turned the turret, let alone run the main engine to drive their tanks.


Ignorance can be fixed. Stupid is forever!
