MacArthur/Wainwright MOH idiocy

[harmonica]

so we know Mac was awarded the MOH --for failure......??!!
then when Wainwright, who Mac had left behind in a HOPELESS situation, was recommended for the MOH, Mac objected!!! is this not totally ridiculous ?
...in my opinion, Wainwright did not deserve it either

Once safe in Australia, MacArthur began to bitterly complain in private about Marshall and his “cabal” in Washington DC. It was no World War One grudge that irked MacArthur, but the sense of abandonment after all of Marshall’s telegrams promising support

George Marshall could have retaliated. Firing MacArthur would have been popular in America’s high command. The entire affair could have descended into an ugly incident. Instead, Marshall not only recommended MacArthur for the Medal of Honor. He wrote the citation himself. Dwight Eisenhower was opposed to the move.
