Maybe MacArthur was just offering an alternative where he could bypass the official system, after all he thought he was God and in his mind he could walk on water .

The AWM stuff is all mixed up, I did save some of it but they keep on changing everything around and remove stuff which is annoying to say the least.

Macarthur was certainly an ego-maniac ( and most were - Montgomery, Patten etc) who surrounded himself with often, incompetent, Yes-men (General Kenney was the exception and he was one of the outstanding Air Force Generals of any country during WW2).

I am sure he was saying he had influence in the right quarters rather than offering specific items.
