Douglas MacArthur was a hard charging WW1 officer who went on to become the senior officer "Chief of Staff" during the "peace time" of the 30's. He retired just prior to WW2 but for some reason FDR talked him into taking a reduction in rank and becoming the commander of US Troops in the area which was most likely to be the target of the Japanese attack which would ignite America's involvement in WW2. What the hell were they thinking?
