Trivia: Which famous general delivered a farewell address to Congress in 1951?
Douglas MacArthur
Dwight Eisenhower
George S. Patton
Omar Bradley
The correct answer is Douglas MacArthur
So why is this answer correct? : Many Americans revered Douglas MacArthur as a hero of World War II. However, the controversial general’s 52-year career ended after a public clash with President Harry Truman over MacArthur’s military strategy for the Korean War, which led to his dismissal for insubordination in 1951. Two weeks later he addressed a joint session of Congress, noting that “old soldiers never die; they just fade away.”
