Ignored warnings that Japanese attacks were imminent, promptly lost Philippines.

The commander of Pearl Harbor had no warning and got court martialed for the incident. Macarther had a day's warning, did nothing with it, and got to keep his job.

macarthur confirmed for a shit

But he took it back right? As seen from the Battle of Luzon

Got thousands of marines killed taking useless airfields so he could have a publicity moment walking ashore in the Philippines

He also pushed for himself to get a Medal of Honor for his actions in screwing up the defense of Corrigedor, fucking over others who actually deserved it to make sure.
He forced the forces taking Luzon to fight entrenched Japs at a disadvantage of 2:1 just so he could mop up all the smaller islands and look like a big hero.
Just a generally political, conniving ass.

>>31556691
But didn't he push the japs out of the phillipines?

Great American Hero.

He's the reason that Japs are not fucked up as bad as present day Germans.

If we listened to him there wouldn't be a North Korea today, and Nationalist china would be much larger.

>>31556532
He was strategically impeded by his own ego, however he did see the writing on the wall and knew we should have pushed harder in Korea and nuked the Chinese.

>>31556532
MacArthur was one of the first American strategists to deduce that Communist China was not a Soviet satellite, but a wholly independent state which was allied to the Soviets for its own purposes

Otherwise he was a fool and an egotist

macarthur was an american hero.

most of the hater's have nothing but anecdotal "proof" to offer up for their hate.

he had his weakness, but don't we all?

you're thinking of nimitz, my friend.

>He also pushed for himself to get a Medal of Honor for his actions

Is there a more cuntish thing to do

one of the real reasons why america won in WW2 was this man here,
and others like him of a similar caliber.
this is also one reason why america has so few wins in it's win column.

maybe if that was true, it would.

>At 03:30 local time on 8 December 1941 (about 09:00 on 7 December in Hawaii),[126] Sutherland learned of the attack on Pearl Harbor and informed MacArthur. At 05:30, the Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, General George Marshall, ordered MacArthur to execute the existing war plan, Rainbow Five. MacArthur did nothing.


That is all you need to know. He should have been sacked right then and there.

oh great, more revisionist history 101.
most all you bitches are not worthy to stand in this man's shadow.

>>31556532
He's basically the reason that North Korea still exists
