I'm not a Korean Shamanist, so my right to criticize is limited, but I feel that any shaman who invokes the spirit of MacArthur for any purpose other than to fill his afterlife with suffering can be immediately dismissed as a fraud.

Man wanted to drop nukes on your country, fam.

"By profession I am a soldier and take pride in that fact. But I am prouder - infinitely prouder - to be a father. A soldier destroys in order to build; the father only builds, never destroys. The one has the potentiality of death; the other embodies creation and life. And while the hordes of death are mighty, the battalions of life are mightier still. It is my hope that my son, when I am gone, will remember me not from the battle field but in the home repeating with him our simple daily prayer, Our Father Who Art in Heaven." ~ General Douglas MacArthur

Inchon! film (1981) – special advisor Sun Myung Moon. A psychic reported MacArthur’s spirit endorsed the production

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inchon_(film)


Before deciding on making a war film, Moon and Ishii considered making biopics of Jesus or Elvis Presley.[3][4] In 1978, psychic Jeanne Dixon was consulted to communicate with the spirit of General MacArthur, and Dixon said that MacArthur’s spirit endorsed the production of the film.[5][3][4] Dixon also helped choose Terence Young, known for the James Bond films Dr. No, Thunderball, and From Russia with Love, to direct the film.[3][4] 
Inchon cost $46 million to produce.[1][9][10] Attempts to solicit funding from Japanese banks fell through, and so the entire project was funded by Moon and the Unification Church.[11] 
 …
 Inchon (also called Inchon!) is a 1981 epic war film about the Battle of Inchon, considered to be the turning point of the Korean War. The film was directed by Terence Young and financed by Unification movement founder Sun Myung Moon. It stars Laurence Olivier as General Douglas MacArthur, who led the United States surprise amphibious landing at Incheon, South Korea in 1950. Also featured are Jacqueline Bisset, Ben Gazzara, Toshiro Mifune, and Richard Roundtree. It was filmed in South Korea, California, Italy, Ireland and Japan. 
Inchon’s plot includes both military action and human drama. Characters face danger and are involved in various personal and dramatic situations. The film concludes with the American victory over North Korean forces in the Battle of Inchon, which is considered to have saved South Korea. The film cost $46 million to produce and encountered many problems during production, including a typhoon and the death of a cast member. Both the Unification movement and the United States military provided personnel as extras during the filming. 
The film was released theatrically in the United States and Canada in September, 1982 and then quickly withdrawn because of its poor performance at the box office. It has never been released on home video, although it has occasionally been broadcast on television. It was the largest financial loss in film of 1982, earning less than $2 million against its lofty budget and resulting in losses of around $41 million. Reviewers at the time gave it consistently bad reviews and later commentators including Newsweek, TV Guide and Canadian Press have classed Inchon among the worst films of all time.

The Battle of Cape Gloucester, narrated by Capt. Dale Dye, USMC (Ret), was a pivotal yet grueling conflict during World War II, marked by relentless tropical monsoons, treacherous jungle terrain, and a determined Japanese enemy. Factors such as severe weather, challenging geographic conditions, and the intricacies of MacArthur's military strategy complicated the 1st Marine Division's mission to secure a critical Japanese airstrip. Despite initial setbacks involving inadequate support from Army Parachute Infantry and challenges with artillery effectiveness in adverse weather, the arrival of M4 Sherman tanks and effective tactical adjustments, including intelligence reports from a captured Japanese soldier, facilitated the Marines' eventual capture of Cape Gloucester. The battle was a tough learning environment for the Marines, emphasizing the necessity of tanks, engineers, and adaptable strategies in jungle warfare. While the operation's strategic value was debated, it provided vital combat experience and operational insights that benefited future Pacific campaigns. The operation resulted in significant Marine casualties, underscoring the challenges posed by both the enemy and the environment.

General Douglas MacArthur: Only opportunity

“There is no security on this earth. There is only opportunity.” —General Douglas MacArthur.

[holy-ghost-fire]

I fired [Douglas MacArthur] because he wouldn't respect the authority of the President. I didn't fire him because he was a dumb son of a bitch, although he was, but that's not against the law for generals. If it was, half to three-quarters of them would be in jail.

Happy Birthday to my pookie Douglas MacArthur

He was born January 26th 1880. This ❤️cutie patookie ❤️would've been 145 if not for his unfortunate and ❤️untimely death❤️ in 1964 of primary biliary cholangitis at the ripe❤️ young age❤️ of 84.

This war HERO was UNFAIRLY called a "dumb son of a bitch" by president Truman. Truman is a dumb stinky stupid president.

I've decided that the best format for any history book is for the historian to pick one or two historical figures they admire, and one or two figures that they *HATE* with a burning passion. So long as those biases are obvious, it always leads to absolutely fascinating historical narratives.
