General MacArthur
General MacArthur refers to Douglas MacArthur (1880–1964), American military commander who led Allied forces in the Pacific during World War II and oversaw Japan's postwar occupation.
His dramatic return to the Philippines fulfilled his famous promise I shall return.
He commanded UN forces in the Korean War until President Truman relieved him for insubordination.
The phrase old soldiers never die, they just fade away comes from his farewell address to Congress.
