You were asked to decide – TMP link Douglas MacArthur was nominated for the Medal of Honor in WWI but did not receive it. Should he have? 51% said "no, he should not have received the Medal of Honor" 4% said "yes, he should have received the Medal of Honor" |

Wonder if the 51% understood WHY he was nominated
for the award or if the votes were part of the
'Dugout Doug' hysteria of post-WWII ? |
