This question is difficult to answer because the people who think of strategy are very rarely the people at th top.
If I had to choose, I'd go for MacArthur. Island hopping and the Korean incursion were great ideas and they actually were his. |
Interesting choice. It seems like MacArthur suffered from the same problem as the person I'm going to choose... George McClellan.
McClellan was the North's general for the beginning part of the civil war. The strategy he came up with would have worked marvelously, if he were able to execute it. It played into both the psychological aspects, and physical aspects. After seeing death in the battle field he became gun shy and feared to put more troops out on the battlefield. It failed miserably.
Luckily my boy Ulysses had balls of steel, and just killed the South. I'm not sure if Jackson, Mississippi has recovered from the battle there yet!
