Incompetent retard that was only good as a media diva. His "defense" of the Philippines should have led to his sacking at the very least and how he stayed in any important leadership position is a mystery.

Everything about him was product presented to us. It was all fake. The attitude, the sunglasses, the stupid fucking folksy corn cob pipe, all of it carefully curated for the media. Props for the stage. He was a colossal fag but I will give credit where it is due, his little act was a success, the normies ate it up.

Not a great military leader, not incompetent either, capable of errors. But also capable of navigating the high profile politics. That is important in a giant modern industrialized war. Alot of commanders were much better than him at the actual war part.. but many of them were very bad at maneuvering their political regimes to get support etc.

Had a nose for public persona and working media. Had a large ego. But proved to be a very capable administrator and governor. See post war japan.
>>
>>541733989
I don't think he goes down as a great commander. But he did have one overlooked trait very important in that war in particular... he was able to navigate the politics of senior command/washington throughout the war. His ego and public image helped him do that btw.

Many much better commanders couldn't do that, and ended up being able to do a job but not being able to GET the job. Or not having the materiale etc etc.
>>
>>541735978
Of course, Von Manstein, Rommel and Goering never did anything like that.

I'm not a stormfag. I agree with you completely about all three but it seems like you're just trying to change the subject because you enjoy the MacArthur production.

If the US triggered a World War in 1950-1955ish, they would have literally conducted a first strike nuclear attack on the USSR and would have won it handily with somewhat minor losses (relatively speaking). Do a deep dive on the capabilities of either side in that time period. It is stark. If you put any major leader from history (Napoleon, Ghengis, Caesar, etc.) in the US position, and explained what nuclear weapons were etc etc. they would have slapped that red button immediately. The US behavior from 1950-1965 may go down as the most retarded/altruistic behavior in world history.

Most people don't realize how giant the nuclear gulf between the US and USSR was around approx 1955ish. The SAC knew it too and advocated for a first strike to prevent Soviet buildup to a point of MAD. SAC, glowies, etc were constantly trying to duck-walk the White House into a first strike scenario. Bay of Pigs, etc etc. By about 1965 the Soviets had progressed far enough to make nuclear war too costly. Bur from 1950-1965 the ball was in US hands to first strike the soviets and retain (literal) unilateral global supremacy.

Got a lot of infantry killed taking Manila in 1945 because his family owned BLOCKS of property there. Can’t use artillery or armor, send men in to protect his investments.

My grandpa who was on the USS Wisconsin during the ending years of WWII, and he absolutely despised MacArthur while he loved Halsey.
He said every sailor thought the same thing; MacArthur was a "coward" and a blowhard while Halsey was a true leader and /theirguy/ as the Admiral.

>>541737002
>I don't think he goes down as a great commander.
The most popular Allied commanders of WW2 are genuinely overrated, Monty, Patton, MacArthur, etc. while they are mediocre at best, actual good ones are forgotten, Patton was a moron, but chuds here genuinely think he could drive the Soviets back to their country while he barely pushed the depleted German units in the Western Front with full tank divisions
>>
>>541733812
WW1 and WW2 generals and politicians looked kino, imagine WW3: evil fucking witch Von der Leyen, senile orange fuck Drumpft, plastic surgery Pootin, drugged out jewish goblin Zelensky, with literally who (female) generals that got their rank God knows how by never serving.
>>
>>541745549
Halsey was nicknamed "Bull" for a reason
>>
>>541746063
That style of modern war just doesn't lend itself to the "great commander" type of thing. I mean from the allied side if I had to pick someone it would be like Adm. King and Nimitz or something. But again that type of war is just inherently administrative and bureacratic.

You also have the same problem the US v. CSA had in the civil war- when you have immense material and manpower etc. advantages you just don't get lionized the same way. That's just the cost of having all the advantages lol- people don't make you heros.

>>541746403
Sea: Spruance or Lee

Land: Collins or Ridgway
>>
>>541746678
I mean Lee was clearly a good Captain, and an interesting character... but other than his command at that Guadalcanal engagement I don't really don't know if his overall contribution was that great.

Honestly in order to really get treated like a hero you have to put together a string of victories or at least confound a superior enemy over an extended period of time imho.
