LeMay vs. MacArthur: A smackdown of the right-wing nut four-star generals




I'd kind of assumed that Gen.
Curtis LeMay would be a fan of Gen. Douglas MacArthur, because both were
right-wing nuts. So I was surprised to read this comment in an interview with
LeMay:




"I'll pick out some people who were
supposed to have been good leaders. Let's take MacArthur. I wouldn't follow
that man out to the outhouse because I don't like him. I don't like his
methods …"

Manning Ancell, editors, Four-Star
Leadership for Leaders
