	Douglas MacArthur - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		MacArthur was born in Little Rock, Arkansas on the northwest upper floor of The Tower Building of the Little Rock Arsenal.

		MacArthur and his second wife, Jean Faircloth, are buried together in downtown Norfolk, Virginia; their burial site is in a small museum dedicated to his memory, and there is a major shopping mall named for him across the street from the burial site.

	The World at War: Douglas Macarthur
		General Douglas MacArthur, the former Chief-of-Staff of the U.S. Army, "rose" to the rank of Field Marshal when he became Commander-in-Chief of the new "Army of the Philippines." This army was being created as a part of the preparations for this U.S. Territory to become an independent commonwealth.
		MacArthur has been widely criticized, not so much for losing the islands to the Japanese (all pre-war U.S. plans had assumed that the islands would fall unless the Pacific Fleet rescued them promptly), but for blunders that made the Japanese conquest much easier, and for not surrendering with his men.
		MacArthur could argue that the supply lines to Australia had to be kept open in any event, unless the Allies were ready to abandon Australia to the Japanese.
