Nihil, >>His island hopping campaign in the Southwest Pacific was brilliant<< True.

>>although Nimitz and Roosevelt refused him the naval support he needed.<< Not true and kind of unfair. They refused him the naval support he DEMANDED; had they given in to his demands, the war in the Pacific would have taken far longer and been much more expensive. MacArthur did not work and play well with others, but the two-pronged attack that came from the disagreement developed into brilliant strategy.
