Macarthur

He promised those in need he would return
It took him longer then he wanted
These people that he left would not be spurned
He promised those in need he would return
Now that is what this general did they'd learn
Then those who made him leave he hunted
He promised those in need he would return
It took him longer then he wanted

"American Caesar" by William Manchester is a great bio of him if you have the time. I read it a few years back and it's really stuck with me.
