Quotes by Douglas MacArthur

Douglas MacArthur commanded American forces in the Pacific, accepted the Japanese surrender, and then effectively governed occupied Japan for five years, overseeing a constitution and land reform. He was relieved of command in Korea by Truman for publicly disputing the war's limits, and came home to a hero's welcome and a farewell address to Congress. He was theatrical by design. His speech to West Point on duty, honour and country is the most quoted thing he wrote.
