On the other side of the coin was a political general who had done his duty in WW1 and led the charge that kicked the WW1 Bonus Marchers out of their encampment in Washington D.C. MacArthur retired as COS but the Old Soldier was called back by FDR to be the front line commander of the area most likely to be attacked by the Japanese. When the shit hit the fan on Dec. 7 Mac had about a day to enact the "war plan" but he seemed consumed by inaction and his entire air force was destroyed while parked wing to wing on the ground while his troops gradually withdrew to Bataan and Corrigador. MacArthur abandoned his troops under orders and was awarded the MOH in perhaps the shortest citation in the MOH book.

MacArthur was awarded the MOH for morale and political purposes.On the other side of the coin was a political general who had done his duty in WW1 and led the charge that kicked the WW1 Bonus Marchers out of their encampment in Washington D.C.
