To be told you've won a MacArthur fellowship is very flattering and gratifying personally.
It is true that despite occasional gleams of Churchillian eloquence he [Gen. Douglas MacArthur] usually spoke poorly. He was far more effective in conversations a deux. But those who dismiss him as shallow because his rhetoric was fustian err.
General MacArthur told me, "You represent the American serviceman better than the American serviceman himself."
I'm a big fan of General Douglas MacArthur and General George Patton.We have a few generals that have been so incredible to me. Now we have 200.
