Who is the most overrated General of alltime? (my choice is MacArthur)
-brb 24 hour warning from pearl harbor attacks - doesnt prepare his forces in the Philippines and most of his air force there is destroyed on the runway
-brb changes defense plan last minute and his forces have to hastily group up in Bataan to setup a defense line while awaiting rescue
-brb ditch your own army and escape to Australia leaving behind tens of thousands of your own troops (including 12 generals who also became POWs) to be captured and do bataan death march
-brb its ok boyos "I shall return"
-brb has the japanese code broken and overwhelming superiority in supplies/manpower/logistics and the FOOKING ATOM BOMB and still takes years to destroy the japanese. honestly any random general could have done it
-brb somehow this makes him a "legend"
-brb caught completely off guard in Korea in 1950 (task force Smith) despite warnings from everyone on the ground
-brb completely ignores the intelligence community's warnings of Chinese intervention and pushes his thinned out troops deep into North Korea toward the Yalu river
-brb even after initial Chinese attacks, considers them a peasant army and doesn't take it seriously
-brb leads the longest retreat of US military forces in history back into South Korea (losing Seoul...for the second time)
-brb tries to cope by claiming he needs to use the Atom Bomb again to fix things
-brb fired by Truman
Honestly a terrible general.
Honorable mentions for Rommel and General Robert E Lee
