Quote:General Douglas MacArthur early in WWII got run off the Bataan peninsula and left half his army and the entire Philippines to the Japanese because he couldn't match his green army against the seasoned Japanese military.

 

So according to you, the man who is widely considered the greatest CO of the 20th century was a bad CO because he couldn't outmatch experience when given an inexperienced group to lead.

 

MacArthur came back only after the US military gained the experience necessary to make the most of their skills and resources and crush the Japanese.

 

You will be hard pressed to find an example of a CO any time in history being able to have consistent success when leading any inexperienced group against a seasoned force unless they have a significant superiority in either numbers or technology, and in the NFL, those types of advantages are afforded to no one.
 

First off, McArthur is not the greatest CO of the 20th century. Not even the greatest American CO.


But your example doesn't match the facts in the Jags case. A better example would be a Civil War CO without horses continually insisting on the use of cavalry as his main weapon against opposing cannon fire. True it would be better if he had horses, but the CO has to make do with what he has.
