summary: "MacArthur was the focus of a 'MacArthur-for-president' campaign in 1952, organized by H.L."
---
[[Douglas MacArthur]] was a highly decorated American five-star general who played a prominent role in [[World War II]] and the Korean War. After being relieved of his Korean command by President [[Harry Truman]] in 1951, he embarked on a speaking tour, during which he was accompanied by [[H.L. Hunt]] and supported by [[Clint Murchison, Sr.]].[^1]
MacArthur was the focus of a "MacArthur-for-president" campaign in 1952, organized by [[H.L. Hunt]] and [[Clint Murchison, Sr.]]. This campaign, though reluctant on MacArthur's part, saw Hunt spending a significant amount of his own money. The campaign eventually dissolved as MacArthur adopted a more strident right-wing rhetoric.[^1]
