But not for two years. Was he sort of licking his wound. He was definitely licking his wound. He wrote macarthur at war. How does a general on a losing streak go to australia by someone extremely popular throughout the country. Macarthur fills the need in the american psyche for a hero. To macarthurs credit by the time 1944 comes along, he is doing a lot of island hopping, he is really bought into the whole concept of, of air power, he is doing miraculous amphibious landings all over.

As john wright tells us back inside macarthurs office. You would expect the president of the day, Franklin Roosevelt to be up there, he made the comment that, that he wasnt having any democrat looking down on him. He was a republican .
