In his closing speech, he mused: "Old soldiers never die, they just fade away."
On his return from Korea, after his relief by Truman, MacArthur encountered massive public adulation, which aroused expectations that he would run for the US presidency as a Republican in 1952. However, a Senate Committee investigation of his removal, chaired by Richard Russell, contributed to a marked cooling of t ...

| | | | | Bonus Army: Encyclopedia II - Douglas MacArthur - World War II After the United States entered World War II, MacArthur became Allied commander in the Philippines. He courted controversy on several occasions, especially when he overruled his air commander, General Lewis H. Brereton, who had requested permission to launch air attacks against Japanese bases on nearby Taiwan. Consequently much of the US Far East Air Force was destroyed on the ground in the Philippines, the prelude to a Japanese invasion. His headquarters during the period of defeat in the Philippines was in the island fortress of Corregidor ...

| | | | | Bonus Army: Encyclopedia II - George S. Patton - Education Patton attended Virginia Military Institute for one year, then transferred to West Point. He flunked out after plebe year with Courtney Hodges (both "found deficient" in mathematics), but reentered to graduate in 1909.
Patton was an intelligent child, intensively studying classical literature and military history from a young age, but likely suffered from an undiagnosed case of dyslexia, the consequences of which would haunt him throughout his schooling. He learned to read at a very late age as a child, and never learned basic skills ...

| | | | | Bonus Army: Encyclopedia II - George S. Patton - The interwar years While on duty in Washington, D.C. in 1919, Patton met and became close friends with Dwight D. Eisenhower, who would play an enormous role in Patton's future career. In the early 1920s, Patton petitioned the U.S. Congress to appropriate funding for an armored force, but had little luck doing so. Patton also wrote professional articles on tank and armored car tactics, suggesting new methods to use these weapons. He also continued working on improvements to tanks, coming up with innovations in radio communication and tank mounts. However, with ...

| | | | | Bonus Army: Encyclopedia II - 3d Armored Cavalry Regiment - World War I and II In August 1917, the Regiment was alerted for overseas duty. Arriving in France in November, the Regiment was broken up and operated three major remount depots until the war’s end. The only actual 3d Cavalry unit to see action in World War I was K Troop, which was detached from the 3d Squadron and participated in the last three engagements prior to the Armistice of 11 November 1918. After World War I, the Regiment deployed back to the United States and executed a garrison mission until the beginning of World War II. {In July 1932 Major George S. Patton-under order of Dougla ...

3d Armored Cavalry Regiment - First Tour OIF.
In 2003 the regiment was to invade Iraq from Turkey, but was forced to enter Iraq from Kuwait after Turkey denied the United States permission to launch an attack from its land. This delayed the 3rd Cavalry's entry into the war, and most of the regiment had not moved into Iraq until mid- or late-April. Once in Iraq, the 3rd Cavalry was responsible for the Al Anbar province; a ...

| | | | | Bonus Army: Encyclopedia II - Business Plot - Historical Treatment Those who hold with the existence of the conspiracy propose several scenarios in explaining why the affair did not become a cause celebre, among which are:
The story was an embarrassment to people of influence, and it was best to sweep it under the rug as quickly as possible.
In 1934, newspapers were controlled by a relatively small elite — according to then-Interior Secretary Harold L. Ickes, 82% of all dailies had monopolies in their communities. Proponents of the theory thus suggest that the media ...

| | | | | Bonus Army: Encyclopedia II - 3d Armored Cavalry Regiment - Mexican War The Regiment was organized "for establishing military stations on the route to Oregon", and it was under orders to proceed on its mission at the earliest practical date. However, the Mexican War intervened and the Regiment found itself diverted to participate in the invasion of Mexico. Here, in the heat of the campaign, was born the Regimental Accolade. As the Regiment lay bloodied and exhausted from fierce fighting at Contreras, Mexico, General Scott arrived and each man stood at attention as the General approached. General Scott, who was a ...

| | | | | Bonus Army: Encyclopedia II - George S. Patton - Patton and Eisenhower The relationship between George S. Patton and Dwight Eisenhower has long been of interest to historians in that the onset of World War II completely reversed the roles of the two men in the space of just under two years. When Patton and Eisenhower met in the mid 1920s, Patton was six years Eisenhower’s senior in the Army and Eisenhower saw Patton as a leading mind in tank warfare.
Between 1935 and 1940, Patton and Eisenhower developed a very close friendship to the level where the Patton and Eisenhower families were spending summer ...

He and Gen Hap Gay were on a daytrip to hunt pheasants in the country, outside Mannheim. It was a cold, wet, hazy December morning. Their 1939 Cadillac Model 75 was driven by PFC Horace Woodring. Patton sat in the back seat, on the right with Gen. Gay to his left, as per custom. At 11:45 near Necker Stadt (Käfertal) a 2 1/2 ton truck driven by T/5 Robert L.
