Whether you like him or not, McArthur was one of the most brilliant generals of all time. His invasion of Inchon was a true masterpiece.
His WWII leadership was also of the highest order.
I agree. See my post right below yours, I was writing that before I saw yours.
Some people think he was a military God. I think he was a decent general who had some really good shining spots, and some really bad aspects.
Again, just my opinion...:)
I wouldn’t agree his leadership was the highest order. He got a lot of adoring press, and he made as sure as he could that was the case.
For quiet leadership and effectiveness, I think Nimitz was perhaps the best.
