[ARC5] FW: How the U.S. Cracked Japan's 'Purple Encryption Machine' at the Dawn of World War II

[Joe Connor]

Yes, after Truman fired him in 1950, he considered a run for the presidency in 1952. Ultimately, the Republican Party chose another general, some guy by the name of Eisenhower.
MacArthur is a fascinating character. His supporters say he was the greatest soldier and statesman this country has ever produced. His detractors call him a poor general and the most dangerous man in American history. The wild thing is that each side has more than enough evidence to support it position because at various times, he was both.

U.S. Presidency.
