I would have a tough choice between Monty & Dug-out Doug.
MacArthur was a coward, a braggart,an egotisical blowhard, who kept his staff runnig ragged to cover up his bonehead errors. He almost got us involved in an atomic war w/ China. He was Lionized, as we needed a hero, ANY hero, AND he DID look & talk like one.
Montgomery, on the other hand, got made into a Hero by the Brits, who also badly needed one. He was credited for besting Rommel, after Rommel was sick, and his AfrikaKorps was out of supplies. Any victories Monty got, were because of Ultra, etc, but the Allies had to keep that secret. He slowed the end of the war by at least a month by his grandstanding, and he killed off thousands of troops in his one original plan-“Operation Market Garden”. He also did not LOOK or talk like a hero, but there is no indication he was a coward.
I’m picking “Dug-Out Doug”, as my Dad served w/ him. How about you folks? One of these, or someone else?
