Among them, douglas macarthur was the most admired.

Douglas macarthur, a famous American military strategist, was born at1October 26th,1880,65438, 30km outside Little Rock, Arkansas, USA. His father, Arthur MacArthur II, was a three-star lieutenant general in the American army. He inspired MacArthur to become a soldier. From 65438 to 0899, MacArthur was admitted to the United States Army Military Academy (West Point Military Academy). At school, I study hard and pay attention to physical exercise. Four years later, he graduated with a score of 98.43, setting a graduation score record for West Point Military Academy (this record has not been broken so far).

MacArthur was awarded a five-star general in the army in 1944. During World War II, he served as commander of the US Far East Army and commander of the Allied Forces in the Southwest Pacific Theater. After the war, he became the supreme commander of the allied forces in Japan and the commander-in-chief of the "United Nations Army".

He was awarded the Medal of Honor for his performance in the Philippine campaign, and his father Arthur MacArthur was the first father and son to receive the Medal of Honor at the same time. MacArthur is the general who won the most medals in the US army, navy and air force, and the only American general who participated in World War I, World War II and Korean War. MacArthur is called "a generation of veterans" by American nationals. MacArthur is the youngest brigadier general in the United States, the youngest president of West Point Military Academy, and the youngest army chief of staff in the history of the United States Army. His three "youngest" experiences can be called wizards in the history of American war.
