穿女裙的麦克阿瑟

douglas macarthur's military success may have come as a surprise to his childhood friends. his macho image notwithstanding, he was dressed in skirts by his mother until he was eight.

in 1951, macarthur was dismissed by president truman in a dispute over us policy toward china during the korean war. macarthur's father, who fought geronimo, had also been relieved of his command by president taft for insubordination.

麦克阿瑟军事成就辉煌，他儿时的朋友也许会感到惊讶。他虽然形象刚强，但八岁以前母亲却给他穿女裙。

一九五一年，麦克阿瑟和总统杜鲁门争议美国韩战期间对华政策，被杜鲁门免职。他父亲曾和杰罗尼莫作战，也因不服从命令而被总统塔虎脱解除兵权。

【解说】麦克阿瑟是第二次世界大战期间西南太平洋盟军总司令，一九五○年韩战爆发，出任联合国军总司令，主张直接进攻「抗美援朝」的中共，终于被迫退伍。他父亲曾和印第安人游击队领袖杰罗尼莫对敌，也因为意见和总统不合而去职。有其父必有其子，英文可以说：likefather,likeson。
