Not necessarily. He was a good general and leader. He was just a prima donna. He said everybody called him Dug out Doug.

I thought MacArthur maximized the minimal resources he was given. His strategy of leapfrogging and isolating some strong points saved a lot of lives, He was right about going for the Philippines over Taiwan.

That said, it would really burn my biscuits to be slogging through the jungle in New Guinea while Doug was in Brisbane.
