And there was a time when the photo of him next to MacArthur was considered scandalous.

To be fair not a soul on this earth deserves having to share a room with MacArthur and his ego.

Downvoted for the truth. My favorite MacArthur story was him crying and puking after he got dressed down by Roosevelt.

Lots of army fetishist chuds, like the kind that putz around r/history and spend their time going on about what a decent guy Rommel was worship him too and dream about sniffing the taint of his dead corpse.

The WWII pacific theater was won in spite of him and every death after China entered the Korean War is explicitly his fault. He's a bad person and a worse military leader.

The r/history gang must have gotten wind of it. They love to suck the dick of both him and Rommel.

The thing is he was also a bad general so it's not like there's an excuse for the shit personality and massive ego trip.

King and Nimitz spent as much time managing him as they did dealing with the IJN. And when he was let off the chain without another branch to keep him in check he complete fucked up Korea and turned what should have been a walkover into a meatgrinder by walking up to the Chinese border (and probably crossing it if we're being honest).
