"Duty, honor, country...
they teach us to be proud and unbending in failure
but humble and gentle in success." General Douglas MacArthur

Nothing represents General MacArthur's own words better than his role in the destruction and rebirth of Japan.
As Supreme Commander of the Allied forces in the Pacific theater during World War II, MacArthur was humiliated by the Japanese in the Philippines before becoming the architect of their ultimate defeat. For the next 12 years, while serving as the commander of the occupation forces in Japan, he helped to organize its rehabilitation.
