Lmao likening yourself to Douggie McArthur is certainly a choice. Do you think it's because Trump wants to nuke China or because he longs to return to his daily formal luncheon with Mother across the street from the base?

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Implying Trump put more thought into this than "Who was a 'cool' general"

[–] SerialExperimentsGay@hexbear.net 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm honestly surprised this doesn't include any characters from G.I. Joe

If it did, I would just become Cobra Commander

I can screech and do sssssnake talk

Normal amerikkkans do not know what an absolute freak MacArthur was, they just have some vague recollection of him as the hero-general of the WW2 pacific theater

he also was a total weirdo who like went on dates with his mommy his whole adult life until she died. like I don't mean he was close with his mom in an endearing way. i mean, it was like Buster and Lucille Bluth type shit. she was his constant companion everywhere he went, including his time at the military academy where she watched him march and inspected him every day. she drove away both of his wives. when he was little (the youngest of 3 boys) she made him grow his hair long and wear skirts. honestly, the stories are super weird.

also, he was probably more aggressively and vocally racist than hitler with his role in WW2 and Korea and really, really wanted to be the fascist dictator of america but bungled it and got sidelined by being too overtly hawkish in public.

i think of him like a serial killer who was managed to become a general in war time.

she made him grow his hair long and wear skirts

that was just a convential grain at the time, bougie children would all wear dresses to a certain age. this is FDR as a roughly contemporary privledged child

[–] agentant@hexbear.net 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He wanted to drop like a dozen nukes on Korea and China during the Korean War. Among other things but that might be the worst. IIRC the amount of nukes he wanted to drop would cause a global catastrophe from the fallout.

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Substantially worse than that. Quote from the man himself, from the wikipedia article on him being fired:

Of all the campaigns of my life, 20 major ones to be exact, [Korea was] the one I felt most sure of was the one I was deprived of waging. I could have won the war in Korea in a maximum of 10 days.... I would have dropped between 30 and 50 atomic bombs on his air bases and other depots strung across the neck of Manchuria.... It was my plan as our amphibious forces moved south to spread behind us—from the Sea of Japan to the Yellow Sea—a belt of radioactive cobalt. It could have been spread from wagons, carts, trucks and planes.... For at least 60 years there could have been no land invasion of Korea from the north. The enemy could not have marched across that radiated belt.

[–] sleeplessone@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 days ago

30-50 feral bombs.

[–] TommyCatkins@hexbear.net 5 points 2 days ago

MacArthur also went against orders when he was in charge of defending the Phillipines and absolutely biffed the defense. Honestly he should have been sacked for that alone

[–] agentant@hexbear.net 15 points 2 days ago

I like how neither Patton or MacArthur really look like the actual people. Also both of them got demoted, McArthur more so is actually both a Corporal and a Major General. I guess DOGE was demoting dead people too catgirl-smug

[–] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 11 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Patton SA'd his niece, Trump at the very least as an unhealthy attraction to his daughter. Which family member did MacArthur fuck I wonder?

[–] agentant@hexbear.net 8 points 2 days ago

Also it's a trio of racists too.

[–] no_pretext@hexbear.net 4 points 2 days ago

He exploited a 16 year old Filipina woman until he got bored and dumped her once she turned 20

visible-disgust

[–] Crucible@hexbear.net 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I heard that MacArthur was a real motherfucker, and he was a bad guy as well

[–] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Wanted to nuke free Korea iirc

[–] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 6 points 2 days ago

He wanted to nuke the entire border of China / Korea to keep the PLA out.

[–] regul@hexbear.net 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

the ai demoted patton and macarthur

[–] Krinkil2705@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 2 days ago

Like they should've been.

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Dodging the draft was the one cool thing he ever did, yet he still likes to pretend he's an epic war hero lmao

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 8 points 2 days ago

And don't forget he also shits on dead troops. JDPON DON 4 Star General Of The People's Army.

[–] LeninsBeard@hexbear.net 10 points 2 days ago

burgerpain haha yeah man for sure

[–] OffSeasonPrincess@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago

Racist fascist war criminal, racist fascist war criminal, racist fascist war criminal

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 5 points 2 days ago

Yes sir mr trump sir you should be the first one off the boat onto kharg island sir.

[–] Shaleesh@hexbear.net 4 points 2 days ago

MacArthur looks more like RFK Jr tbh

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago

Usually it’s the British boomers doing the “AI slop depicting their generation as the one that won WWII” bit.

[–] trabpukcip@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago

Patton inspired by Rick Moranis' character in space balls
