Good point!

MacArthur was so arrogant that he thought nobody would dare attack HIM! Some people thought Patton was arrogant, but compared to MacArthur, Patton was a very meek humble man.

Please remember those who died at the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, 70 years ago today, 11:45 AM CST. Please consider the price of freedom, especially as you go to your primary or caucus this winter or spring.

Everybody remembers Dec 7 at Pearl Harbor, but it seems like nobody remembers Dec 8 at Clark Field in Manila. The Japanese did to MacArthur's planes what they'd done several hours before to Admiral Kimmell's ships.

Kimmell didn't know we were at war. I'm not sure what MacArthur's excuse was, but the Army Air Corp's Philippine assets were still lined up on the field in nice neat rows when the Japanese came calling.
