MacArthur was the commander of the southern allied group in World War II. He was no hero, preferring to show off and pose for the news media. He used his friends in high places to get his way, to be rewarded, and to get the Medal of Honor. MacArthur conducted his part of the war to get more honors rather than to shorten the war and save allied and Japanese lives. (His rentry into the Philippines, which was totally unnecessary.) MacArthur later got such a swelled head that ignored President Truman's orders. Truman ordered him to either resign or be fired.
