    Dunno. I can imagine Douglas MacArthur violently suppressing a civil protest by U.S. war veterans, failing to prep The Phillipines with war imminent, paying by the foot in blood in New Guinea, asking to use nukes in Korea and challenging the authority of a sitting president.https://twitter.com/NRO/status/1428471843422359552 …

        Don’t forget the importance of propaganda. The famous return was re-shot.

        I was in line for the Big Boy breakfast buffet in Crystal City (don’t ask) and the office door to my left was Norman Schwarzkopf. Decent buffet.

        One of those mornings where 6 people all wake up next to someone they did not expect. The only answer is all you can eat breakfast.

        MacArthur would have just blustered and given a BS answer about how he wouldn't anything happen. Then, if it did, he'd blame others.

        Don't forget ignoring or not seeing ample evidence of a Chinese invasion that nearly overwhelmed the US forces.

        Not to mention suppressing the fairly obvious presence of hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops in northern North Korea to fulfill his quest to reach the Yalu river, and falling into their ambush.

        Okay but that's the real MacArthur. NRO is writing about the meme.
