MacArthur's Speeches: "Old Soldiers Never Die..."
1951 had not been a good year for Douglas MacArthur: after almost losing a war in Korea it seemed he had already won, he was dismissed by President Truman, making headlines around the world. But for thirty-seven minutes on April 19, he held America in the palm of his hand. MacArthur's address before a joint session of Congress, one of the great moments in the early days of television, offered him a unique opportunity to tell his side of the story. He did not disappoint.
Critics and much of the public soon saw through the holes in his arguments. But his final words, drawing the curtain on an unparalleled military career, surely rank as one of the great exit lines in American history.
General MacArthur's Address to Congress
April 19, 1951
Mr. President, Mr. Speaker and Distinguished Members of the Congress:
I am closing my 52 years of military service. When I joined the Army, even before the turn of the century, it was the fullfillment of all of my boyish hopes and dreams. The world has turned over many times since I took the oath at West Point, and the hopes and dreams have all since vanished, but I still remember the refrain of one of the most popular barracks ballads of that day which proclaimed most proudly that old soldiers never die; they just fade away. And like the old soldier of that ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty.

I know you didn't want to lose another one, okay?
Now, come on. I didn't either.
It hurts.
Come on, we got to go.
Get out of there, 5-0-5.

Bravo Six, this is Avalanche.
Bravo Six.
- We've lost the horizon.
- Bravo Six.
- You didn't account for that?
- Yes, sir, we did,
but we didn't count on the SEAL unit
being delayed for five hours...
and then exfiltrating
this close to this high terrain.
But Keyhole-5 will be L.O.S.
In 18 minutes, sir.
Launch base will need
that much time to key their gear.
Advise launch base
accordingly, Goldstein. Now.
Sir, I'd recommend against it.
These are skilled operators.
They've grasped their problem by now and
will take action to get back on-line.
It's just a glitch
in the net changeover, sir.
I'll have it ironed out
momentarily.
Advise launch base,
Goldstein.
Something to add,
Lieutenant?
If we keep the primary satellite the unit can
negotiate its way down to this plateau here.
Reestablish comms.
It's a clear shot.
What about those two areas inland?
That's closer to their position.
But that's behind them.
They'll wanna keep moving
seaward, sir, yet find a spot...
that gives 'em the line of sight
on the satellite.
This plateau here.
That's where I'd head, sir.
Last I checked, you were a topographic
analyst, not an operations specialist.
- Why don't you just let it...
- If they have wounded,
they might be inclined
to stay put.
Wait till the new bird
comes into L.O.S.
But they also know the tides are
slipping out under their recovery sub.
They'll hump their wounded out. They'll
reach this plateau in ten minutes.
Make that nine now.
We can't switch the net, sir.
We'll be listening for them...
on the wrong channel
with the wrong crypto.

CHAPTER 13
AMUSEMENT
"Don't you just love it?" Chavez asked. "Only Hollywood. They hold their weapons like they're knives or something, and then they hit a squirrel in the left nut at twenty yards. Damn, I wish I could do that!"
"Practice, Domingo," John suggested with a chuckle. On the TV screen, the bad guy flew about four yards backward, as though he'd been hit with an anti-lank rocket instead of a mere 9-mm pistol round. "I wonder where you buy those."
"We can't afford them, O great accounting expert!"
John almost spilled his remaining beer at that one. The movie ended a few minutes later. The hero got the girl. The bad guys were all dead. The hero left his parent agency in disgust at their corruption and stupidity and walked off into the sunset, content at his unemployment. Yeah, Clark thought, that was Hollywood.
