Douglas Macarthur once quoted a famous phrase "And through all this tumult of change and development, your mission remains fixed, determined, inviolable: it is to win our wars" (Macarthur) this it was part of Macarthur's program speech “Duty, Honor, Country” (Macarthur) This kept the same message that West Point strived to teach its soldiers. He was a man who grew up in a military family with a father who was a well-known general. Macarthur was an American five-star general and field marshal of the Philippi campaign and was chief of staff of the United States Army in the 1930s and played a major role in the fight to end communism in North Korea. He also protected his soldiers by making sure they were taken care of by example during the Great Depression. He did not follow orders to remove soldiers from Washington DC's "bonus army" who were protesting the government's advance payment for their military service. Instead, he joined his fellow soldiers in protest. He was also fired from the Army for going against Truman's war policy during the Korean War. This is still an issue being discussed by the Senate Armed Services Committee and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. “The removal of General Macarthur was within the constitutional powers of the President, but the circumstances were a shock to the national pride” (United States Army in the Korean War, volume 1, 365) although he was a man of great achievements, he slowly faded away after his dismissal. But in America's eyes he is still known as one of the greatest war heroes of all time. Macarthur was born in Little Rock, Arkansas, on January 26, 1880. (A& e Television Networks) He was the youngest of three children. Macarthur's early childhood was spent in the western frontier outpost... middle of paper... hoping to make a stand to end communism. (Johnson) The position was that this goes strictly against President Truman's war policy, Macarthur knowing this, still wanted to implement the plan. (Johnson) This is where Truman and Macarthur clashed over opinions on war policy. (Johnson) Macarthur wanted to do whatever it took to do the right thing. (Johnson) On the other hand President Truman wanted to stick with his war policy to have a chance to start another world war. (Johnson) This eventually led to Macarthur being fired/dismissed from the army. (Johnson) This raised questions in the eyes of Americans. Was Macarthur's stance on ending communism a smart or stupid move? Should he be seen as a war hero or a man obsessed with power? Many questions arose, but most people agreed that what he did was a true act of doing what was right at the time.
