He might have been the most dangerous man alive after WW2 and frankly ANYONE in the west even slightly like him should be kept under surveillance forever. Maybe even stripped of any kind of authority.

That man was a demon.

    ‘‘People’’ like him should be guillotined or burned on stake, they are too dangerous for humanity, even the worst of the worst serial killers, real and fictious pale in comparison to whatever the fuck that ‘‘human being’’ was…

    I feel the larger amount of hate when someone mentions his name than Hitler’s or of any USA president minus maybe Clinton, Reagan and Nixon…

    They probably end up having to execute several other as well, such as Patton and Halsey. Not many of them were as bad as McArthur, but they weren’t much better either.

      Halsey? I remember his philosophy of “Kill Japs - Kill Japs - Kill more Japs” and not taking prisoners in Guadalcanal. Anything else on him?

      He wanted to nuke Korea and thought East Asians were sub humans, among many other despicable things

        Well in that case I would echo the notion to add Patton to the list. AFAIK he petitioned the government to “push the Russkies back”, namely waaay past the actual Soviet borders.

          Not only that; against orders and set missions, he kept trying to creep up into China during the Korean war to troll out a final confrontation with communism. He was doing everything short of going full rogue to trigger a nuclear holocaust in Asia.

    The Allies were unwilling to put down some German Nazis from their High Command, IG Farben directors, judges, etc; there’s no damn way they’d execute one of their own generals, even if he was an absolute lunatic. (Look up Subsequent Nuremberg trials if you want to make your day worse)

    Didn’t Churchill have similarly insane plans in regards to USSR and China? (Operaiton Unthinkable + some info is circulated about “nuking one out of 20-30 cities” prior to USSR developing its own nuclear weapons, idk)
