During times of the Cold War and Korean War, Douglas MacArthur volunteered his services. He served as a worthy general for as long as the wars lasted. He served as an American general and field marshal of the Philippine Army and the Chief of Staff for the American Army during the 1930s. Growing up he was raised in a military family where he obviously had gotten the interest. MacArthur attended the Texas Military Academy and had received Valedictorian and was First Captain. During his service he received the Medal of Honor for his service in the Philippine Campaign. Upon receiving it him and his father became the first father and son to be awarded. He was also chosen out of five men to rise to the rank of General of the American Army and the only man ever to become a field marshal for the Philippine Army.
During his service, in 1925 he became the youngest major general to serve for the Army. He also served in court with Brigadier General Billy Mitchell and was president of the American Olympic Committee during the 1928 Summer Olympics. From Generals to chair mans to a significant leader, MacArthur certainly upheld his reputation.

Prompt:
The implications I can draw from MacArthur's role during the Korean War is he was a useful and significant person. Ever since he was young the only thing he knew was to fight for his country. He went through training, went to academies, he even had his father and grandfather as perfect role models.
