What Was The Occasion Of Eisenhower

Who was a better General: Dwight D. Eisenhower or Douglas MacArthur?

MacArthur generally did what he was told, and ironically got fired for insubordination. Eisenhower is not known for ruffling feathers, but he at least on one occasion was asked for his idea, gave it and was subsequently told to carry it out. He did so well.
MacArthur did not actually ruffle feathers either. He is known for being a proper speaker but antiquated. This apparently made him seem unapproachable to biographers, but is needed in the military chain of command.
Eisenhower carried out the decisive mission in World War II. But he had the combined efforts of more than one countries' armed forces. MacArthur's biography reads like a man who never had enough supplies... and still won. Also, what was needed at times appear to be MacArthur himself. He left an island in the pacific promising to return. He returned to find his men captured, and was able to liberate them. Also, although older, MacArthur could probably have served for much longer than he actually did; he lived beyond the beginning of American involvement in Vietnam. He was still around. At this time he made the speech with the famous line, "Old soldiers never die, they just fade away."
He endured a lot of misconceptions, did not get what he needed at times,suffered a president who was insecure about him, but still soldiered on and did his job. Eisenhower was a well liked man by the people above him who counted. Both men contributed quite a great deal to the freedom of this country through military duties. But MacArthur suffered quite a bit from people who tried to make their misconceptions of him personal. And he still got the job done. So the fact that neither general whined, is a greater testament to MacArthur than to Eisenhower. So with the greatest of respect to both men, I have to pick Gen.Douglas MacArthur.
