Will's Good Idea for the Week of 3-26-17

In the Austrian's Painter's world, Douglas MacArthur is a really big deal.

First off, he's the victorious commander of the Great Pacific War.

He parlays that victory into the presidency in which he serves two terms. MacArthur even wanted to serve a third term but was persuaded not to after a very public battle over the idea.

He's dies in 1964 and said death steals some of the thunder from the German Empire's commemoration of the war's 50th anniversary.

Our protagonist admired President MacArthur very much.
