In this week's episode Seth and Bill tear down the myth of General Douglas MacArthur with facts known by very few Americans, and discuss why his attitude, decisions and lifestyle were a detriment to the overall American strategy in the Pacific War.
EDIT from Bill: I have deleted several comments that seem to defend MacArthur's history of bedding and maintaining a 16-year-old mistress. Those comments seem to be based on an outdated parsing of the legal definition for what does/does not constitute pedophilia. Legal definitions evolve with time. Morals shouldn't, we will not allow this platform to be a conduit for people defending the sexual exploitation of children, whether conducted by Douglas MacArthur or not.
