Because General Douglas MacArthur was General Douglas MacArthur! Only one man in the world could equal "Dug-Out Doug", and that was the President of the United States of America...President Truman had to relieve him of command during the Korean War (1950-1953). Some say, that there had been a "power match" between the two.

Actually, the general was retired from the US Military shortly before the attack by the Japanese and was serving as a "field marshal" heading up the Philippine army. When he was reactivated by the US Military, he retained his FM cap with its fancy embroidery of the bill and just changed out the main emblem.
