Mark, I agree with you and the point that everyone makes mistakes is a very well established truth, but this truth was neither accepted nor understood by MacArthur. Unlike us and the many other leaders in the Pacific Theater, however, General MacArthur took credit for all the victories while blaming others for all the losses. And this is just one more reason why I think he was not a good leader.
