Re: Why wasn't MacArthur sacked?
No, the event I am remembering involved two aircraft, the President was on one, and MacCarthur was on another. Common courtesy dictated that the President left his aircraft last, so he wouldn't be waiting for the other guy, but MacCarthur refused to leave his plane first, and the President had to get MacCarthur on the radio and pretty well order him out of his aircraft, or so my (failing) memory tells me!
He did run for President himself though didn't he, or he at least considered it? Why didn't he do better than he did?
