Re: Beware Generals Bearing a Grudge

I think that the admiration for MacArthur was restricted to the chattering classes, pundits and the like. In Illinois I remember that rich friends of mine really admired him for his political message (along with that of Churchill). They were big friends of Rumsfeld, who was the congresscritter at the time.
