Chiang Kai-shek makes Three Demands
Monday, June 29, 1942 www.onwar.com

In China... Chiang Kai-shek presents his Three Demands to General Stilwell: three US divisions before September, 500 combat planes, and a guaranteed monthly aerial supply of 5,000 tons. Chiang berates Stilwell, and hints that he might pull out of the war. Stilwell, as Chiang’s chief of staff, is not responsible for procurement of supplies. The tension between the two grows.

The MacArthur PR machine at work. If we had found a way to weaponize his ego, the war would have been over in 1942. He reminds me in many respects of a certain President with a similarly large ego, and less than stellar actual accomplishments.
