I think that was what I was saying, in essence.
MacArthur knew how to win a fight without a head-on, meat grinder assault. He was famous for hitting the enemy where they least expected.
Truman should have let MacArthur fight.
By the way, when I was in Australia I got to visit his WWII HQ. Met some folks who worked for MacArthur there.

My Dad spent most of WWII on MacArthur's G-3 staff. He didn't talk about the War very often, but he did tell me a hilarious (to me) MacArthur story. When MacArthur "returned" to the Philippines, my Father referred to him as the "geezer." I almost laughed out loud, because my Dad was 91-years-old. (Although he was 21 in 1944).
