Nup.
That's the deep state spin.
Read his autobiography. You'll see very quickly where he is coming from and who he really is.
Link me the name.
Story I got was he was a raging megalomaniac that wanted a death count.
Right. And Trump is a racist, remember?
WHAT happens to those who tell the truth and go against the Deep State?

I stumbled across this book being sold on a sidewalk in South Korea, when, as a young man, I lived and studied in University there for 7 years.
There are about 10 or 15 treasured volumes in my library that I hold on to and what I consider to be permanent. "Reminiscences" is one of those.
The story of MacArthur is a classic one of a true soldier, patriot and humanitarian who was too great a threat to the Cabal and the Deep State system.
Did you know that he literally was THE most popular US General in that era?
Japan is the country it is today, that is, the good things, by and large because of MacArthur. The world is indebted to him.
PS. I am not an American, btw. But I love this man. The only one in the modern era who has won my loyalty like MacArthur is a man called D. J. Trump.
Either way, MacArthur's autobiography should be a must read for all Patriotic Americans, imo.
be well, fren.
To be quite honest I have read multiple takes on him and his works. Each with its own flagrant agenda.
For me - reading in the subtext of how a war is fought says many things.
For example - the one thing that is fascinating about US History is the very limited scope of direct involvement with wars Americans have. War is always “over there”.
For example a conquered State is usually a vassal after that - yes? The Japanese never once hit the US mainland & the response is indiscriminate firebombings of Tokyo & eventually plutonium / uranium based Nuclear Munitions? In US schools this is taught as “it was the only way to make them submit” - false given Japan was already submitting once Russia closed the German Front and Stalin told Japan he was now focusing on them. They knew there was no way. MacArthur bombed them anyway.
I understand the need for respect - and with MacArthur the thing is I had to dig quite a bit to get to “deep state” talking points about him wanting to be Cesar. That doesn’t seem like the normal Deep State play at all - usually it’s a terraformed forced history, yes?
Although I could be mistaken, my recollection is that the decision to Nuke Japan was not MacArthur's.
Either way, I have enjoyed a lifelong conviction that MacArthur is and was the greatest patriot of his time.
As for him wanting a body count, that's downright disgusting. I cannot explain all the various elements behind my personal conviction re: him.
FYI, the Japanese came to respect the USA, appreciate the USA, and establish the lifelong alliance with the USA precisely because of Gen. D. MacArthur. No other factor is as directly responsible.
FWIW, I lived in Japan for 8 years, and understand their psyche and history very well. (in my own opinion of course, but there it is)
You can't expect anyone to tell us they are megalomaniacs in their autobiographies. he got the sack as he was going to nuke Peking despite being ordered not to.
Truman said he didn't get fired because he was a stupid bastard, it isn't illegal for generals to be stupid. He got the sack as he wouldn't obey orders.
Wow, you taek Truman's word over it?
Nope. Sorry, you're wrong on this one.
MacArthur understood the real situation, Truman, Deep State, wanted to facilitate defeat and capitulation. Result? A Massive long war with the entire Korean People traumatized and the nation STILL divided today.
Result? Communist dictatorship in North Korea. Result? Multi-generational suffering unimaginable for an entire race.
It's NOT illegal for General's to state clearly and honestly what the truth is, and to even call out the Deep State.
He got fired because he DISAGREED with Truman and knew the reality of what Truman was doing.
MacArthur was THE most population General in the USA. He let Eisenhower know that he WASN'T going to run for President, despite the fact that so many wanted to recruit him.
Truman fired MacArthur because MacArthur was a threat to Truman and his power clique. If MacArther was successful in Korea, AND he decided to later run against Truman, Truman was a goner.
Remember: "Trump is a Racist", right?
Truman did say this, and MacArthur did want to nuke China. Endex.
Agreed, Truman DID say this. But what were his real motives?
MacArthur did propose using nukes in the Korean war. He wanted to win the fricken war with the Communists, and put an end to it then and there.
What ended up happening was that he was a Commander put in charge of a war that his commander in chief would never let him win. He was NOT allowed to win.
He was not allowed win. He wanted to destroy the North Korean army, but when he had driven them into a corner, the crossed the Yalu, escaped, and he was NOT allowed to pursue them. What happened? They came back. Instead of a 6 month campaign against the Communists of North Korea which would have unified Korea and saved millions of lives, it became a 3-year unwinnable campaign that lost millions of lives, and resulted in a divided Korea for 70+ decades.
These outcomes are a direct result of Truman's not allowing a general put in charge of a war to actually win the war.
