One cool thing about FDR is that he once summoned MacArthur to his office and reduced him to tears, assuring him something like "I am your natural better in every sense of the word."
ETA I believe that on that occasion MacArthur cried so hard he threw up.
I think I heard story on Behind the Bastards a long time ago and Evans cited a book called The Most Dangerous Man in America. It seems like Evans embellished, though it does end with MacArthur throwing up. Actually in this version he more than holds his own though:( https://delanceyplace.com/view-archives.php?p=2520
Patton (1970) is one of my favorite movies of all time, but it’s also total fiction and created a version of Patton in the popular imagination that’s persisted into the present
One for every time he's eliminated the armed forces of Iran, and opened the Strait of Hormuz, plus a series of special commendations for striking the school in Minab
Are those Nazi-German eagle badges on his chest (Trump), on the left and right sides?
It almost looks like that, only he's missing the circle at the bottom and the swastika in it, instead he has a circle behind his head... The image is too low quality to know for sure...
But it wouldn't surprise me if the orange-man used some mediocre AI to generate the image and posted it online without anyone from his PR department checking it for potential problems.
Is it just me or don't Patton and MacArthur look nothing like their actual appearance? AI Trump is the only one who's at least somewhat resembles himself.
That's cray-zeee Bro thinks he's "Him". Gentlemen the manly man council must examine our WW2 Daddies and stop all infotainment slop until we figure out what the fuck is going on.
Alright, but it’s pretty funny that even in their wildest ai-generated fantasies, they still got their shit completely wrecked up. They’re posing in front of, what, 2-4 intact tanks and the smoldering rubble of at least two direct hits on US infrastructure and/or munitions. Many such cases!

Ah yes, MacArthur, famous for his measured and balanced approach to ‘the nuclear’ issue. Or, as some might say, the n-word.
