True but when you look at his actions in the PI after Pearl Harbor, the contrast is stunning. The same yin and yang applies to Korea. He ignored any signs the war would start because he said it would not. He exhibited genius in the Inchon operation. And then he again returned to the pre-war mold and ignored the Chinese threat.
I will take a middle of the road, plodder anyday over a guy like Macarthur.
