1942 General Douglas MacArthur vows "I came through and I shall return" after escaping Japanese-occupied Philippines.
Interesting item I saw on some war online site. The white house warned McArthur that a jap fleet was heading his way and to be ready. He not only was not ready but did very little. Not an american plane took off to attack the fleet and the troops were unprepared.
