RE: Dr. Jerry Morelock, “Douglas MacArthur: Soldier of the Century” and “Editor’s Letter 11/05: Don’t Let MacArthur’s Legacy Fade Away,” Armchair General, October-November issue
Dear Editor:
I have a message to those who delight in mocking MacArthur as “Dugout Doug.” Thanks to his unsurpassed economy of battle casualties, hundreds of thousands of young American soldiers survived the war, headed home to their loved ones, and helped rebuild the country. Three of them went on to become president of the United States.  Enjoyed your article. Great job, Col. Morelock.
