In the end MacArthur had to accept full responsability for the loss of the Philipines, correct me wrong but was he not the supreme commander of all Philipino forces US and Philipino alike and basically was comfortable in his posting, he became terminally unprepared, laying blame onto subordinates is the first supreme act of a coward, and blaming subordinates was MacArthurs style. MacArthur to me was a coward and nothing will sway me from that, unfortunately those he gutlessly abandonned were the real heroes.
