Third pic looks photoshoped.

Really though numbers, i'm sure it's a glorious day for the republic of the slit-eyed-people, but WAI DO YOU ALLWAYS MAKE A THREAD WHEN IT'S SOME SORT OF NATIONAL ANTI-SHITHEAD DAY?
 
Wasn't Macarthur the dude that accidently invaded China and wanted the UN to nuke the whole of North Korea and the whole of China as well?

What a sack of shit he was.

Yep, same sack of shit that retreated from the Phillipines in WW2, leaving his troops behind (please correct me if I'm wrong, haven't looked up on it in ages).

Uh, no. He just wanted to nuke some parts. And he was an awesome man, hence why we have a statue of him.

He left with his troops, and came back.

We owe our freedom and democracy to the 'sack of shit'.

That same sack of shit also brought China into the war didn't he, which pushed UN forces all the way back to the parallel again where it still is today?

edit: I apologise, he didn't want to nuke North Korea, it was China he wanted to nuke with 30 - 50 nuclear weapons. He also is stated to of wanted full scale nuclear war with China, which Truman didn't want as it would of most probably of brought the Soviet Union into the war as well.

Well, I did say to correct me. I know the house he used to stay in Australia during WW2, it's just down the road.

Without MacArthur, we wouldn't even have the southern half of the peninsula today. China entered the war illegally as well. People should not focus on what people wanted to do, but rather the things that they actually did.

Efforts have been made to distort my position. It has been said, in effect, that I was a warmonger. Nothing could be further from the truth. I know war as few other men now living know it, and nothing to me is more revolting. I have long advocated its complete abolition, as its very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a means of settling international disputes. Indeed, on the second day of September, nineteen hundred and forty-five, just following the surrender of the Japanese nation on the Battleship Missouri, I formally cautioned as follows:

"Men since the beginning of time have
sought peace. Various methods through the
ages have been attempted to devise an
international process to prevent or settle
disputes between nations. From the very
start workable methods were found in so
far as individual citizens were concerned,
but the mechanics of an instrumentality of
larger international scope have never
been successful. Military alliances,
balances of power, Leagues of Nations,
all in turn failed, leaving the only path to
be by way of the crucible of war. The
utter destructiveness of war now blocks
out this alternative. We have had our last
chance. If we will not devise some
greater and more equitable system,
Armageddon will be at our door. The
problem basically is theological and
involves a spiritual recrudescence and
improvement of human character that will
synchronize with our almost matchless
advances in science, art, literature, and all
material and cultural developments of
the past 2000 years. It must be of the spirit
if we are to save the flesh."

But once war is forced upon us, there is no other alternative than to apply every available means to bring it to a swift end.

War's very object is victory, not prolonged indecision.

In war there is no substitute for victory.

There are some who, for varying reasons, would appease Red China. They are blind to history's clear lesson, for history teaches with unmistakable emphasis that appeasement but begets new and bloodier war. It points to no single instance where this end has justified that means, where appeasement has led to more than a sham peace. Like blackmail, it lays the basis for new and successively greater demands until, as in blackmail, violence becomes the only other alternative.

"Why," my soldiers asked of me, "surrender military advantages to an enemy in the field?" I could not answer.

Some may say: to avoid spread of the conflict into an all-out war with China; others, to avoid Soviet intervention. Neither explanation seems valid, for China is already engaging with the maximum power it can commit, and the Soviet will not necessarily mesh its actions with our moves. Like a cobra, any new enemy will more likely strike whenever it feels that the relativity in military or other potential is in its favor on a world-wide basis.

The tragedy of Korea is further heightened by the fact that its military action is confined to its territorial limits. It condemns that nation, which it is our purpose to save, to suffer the devastating impact of full naval and air bombardment while the enemy's sanctuaries are fully protected from such attack and devastation.

Of the nations of the world, Korea alone, up to now, is the sole one which has risked its all against communism. The magnificence of the courage and fortitude of the Korean people defies description.

They have chosen to risk death rather than slavery. Their last words to me were: "Don't scuttle the Pacific!"

What did Macarthur ever do that no other general could do? Demanding that 30 - 45 nuclear weapons be dropped on Chinese cities slaughtering millions of innocent people just because he didn't like communism proves that America at that time was no different than Stalin and his Soviet Union, or even North Korea today.
 
there's 2 sides to every story, Numbers ...remember the victors write the history books

btw McArthur was a sadistic nut

wikipedia said:
On November 19, 1950, Chinese military forces crossed the Yalu River, routing the U.N forces and forcing them on a long retreat. Calling the Chinese intervention the beginning of "an entirely new war", MacArthur repeatedly requested authorization to strike Manchuria and major Chinese cities with thirty to fifty nuclear weapons, an action which Truman and the State Department feared would draw China's ally, the Soviet Union, into the conflict.

Angered by Truman's desire to maintain a "limited war," MacArthur began issuing important statements to the press, warning them of a crushing defeat. In March of 1951, after a painful U.N. counterattack commanded by Matthew B. Ridgway turned the tide of the war in the U.N.'s favor, Truman alerted MacArthur of his intention to initiate 'cease-fire' talks.

Such news ended any hopes the general had retained of leading a full-scale war against China, and MacArthur quickly issued his own ultimatum to China. Mocking the Chinese lack of military power and industrial strength, MacArthur's declaration threatened the expansion of the war, and was by his own aide's later admission 'designed to undercut' Truman's negotiating position. Such an act unquestionably qualified as rank insubordination, and was so contrary to MacArthur's long and distinguished military service that General Omar Bradley later speculated that MacArthur's disappointment over his inability to wage war on China had "snapped his brilliant but brittle mind."

well f*ck you then. It's kind of hard to not retreat when your up against a japanese force that far outnumbers you and you don't have any f*cking resources to even fight with, and your men are eating lizards and snakes to survive and are basically out of ammunition.
He went back and recaptured the phillipines later in the war, and was instrumental in our victory in WWII, so dont go calling him some "sack of shit" you dick.

f*ck, I hate it when ignorant people call men who've given to this country more than they will even think of giving "sacks of shit."

and numbers, don't forget that there were a lot of korean troops that helped the allies recapture Seoul, but I'm sure you know that.

did you read what I posted or did you just skip over the part where his peers said his mind snapped after not being able to launch armageddon on china?
 
Yes, he did get pretty crazy around the time that happened, but everything before then with him was cool beans.
 
or he was always crazy and this just brought attention to it
 
or he was cool beans until he was cockslapped by Truman
 
Well the cockslapping was due in part to him growing old and becoming a little crazy and abandoning all the cool beans he once owned.
 
For the record, I don't think Numbers really posts this stuff because he is some uber-nationalist dickhead. I mean granted, he loves his country, and that's perfectly fine with me and everyone I know.

I think it's Stern. I think he does it to piss off Stern.

So, you think General MacArthur was also eating lizards and snakes to survive? I honour those men who fought in the Phillipines, I don't honour Macarthur...the one who after a couple of critical errors ("Hey, let's leave some B17s lying around for the Japs to bomb!") left the Phillipines by the order of the government along with a couple of lieutenants (not his whole army...who were left behind) and headed for Australia. He may have had intentions of coming back, but a true man would have stayed with his men.

These are the men who went on the infamous Bataan march, ones who were left behind by General MacArthur -

This is General MacArthur in Australia during the same period -

Which of these people do you think have "given" more to their country? Who do you think deserves an individual statue of themselves in their respective country or some other foreign country? No...those men get a little line in a war memorial somewhere, whilst men like Macarthur get books written about them, statues put everywhere and the like. My feelings towards Macarthur would be much more positive if he was the man on that march toiling...the man who went without food for weeks...the man who, blindfolded, was about to meet his end. I have no respect for any general, and Macarthur less so.

For your information, I plan to join the Army Reserve when I am of age. I may not contribute anything to my country, but I will at least try to fight for it if a war begins.
 
Well, you and I have differences in our... uh.. ways, but I appluad your thinking. Even though macarthur was a brilliant tactician that won many great victories, but he didn't fight the battles himself, and didn't share much of the toil and hardships that the normal lowly soldier suffered to protect and defend freedom. However, I still think of him as a great man and soldier, for without his tactics and strategies, our country would not be here today.

I applaud him for his rebuilding of Japan, at the very least. I feel he could have been a vengeful conqueror, but instead he did the opposite. And yeah, that's pretty much all the praise I have for him.
 
Well, tbh, I don't applaud him for that.


'Cause the Japanese are now trying to take away our island... and stuff....
