The Three Who Made a Difference The American Way of War progressed rapidly during the time of the first World War to the Korean War. These innovations and decisions made have impacted the way wars have been fought since then and even to this day. There are three military leaders, General Douglas MacArthur, General Dwight D. Eisenhower, and General Matthew B. Ridgway, that made the most impact and changed the way America fights. These three Generals made the risky decisions needed to complete the mission and contributed to the American Military Tradition in a tremendous way. General Douglas MacArthur, though egotistical and very controversial, was nevertheless one of the greatest military leaders in World War II and of all American history.
He served as a role model for countless soldiers during America’s Revolutionary War and helped establish future presidents. He was a believer in a strong presidency and a stable government. George Washington inherited a nation that was fearful of power. He acted very carefully and was very much aware that the young nation was in desperate need of a strong central Government. He appointed Thomas Jefferson as Secretary of State, General Henry Knox as Secretary of War and General Edmund Randolph as Attorney General.

General Douglas MacArthur was one of America’s most powerful leaders in history. His fantastic strategies combined with his skills of being a great general helped many of the outcomes of the American conflicts in his time and many of the victories may not have been received if it was for MacArthur.
Today there is a special branch of the military specifically designed to handle any condition and any foe without hesitation or remorse. This specialized branch is so effective and well equipped today because of who they were in the past. They were built based on some of the strongest principles, allowing them to rise against any quarry when one, willingly or not, defied them and their beloved country.

Churchill was also a measurable success because of his passion in problem resolution and the ability to take the risks needed to help better shape and support his country. Through history and as well as present politicians being successful does not always end with being a good leader or having great management skills, however the ability to continue to bring encouragement and growing faith in those you are leading is a measured success that only the future will be able to measure. Leadership is often not recognized until years later when we have had the opportunity to review the actions and plans of the individual.
