Gen. Douglas MacArthur: The days of the frontal attack are over. Only a mediocre commander would use it. Your good commanders do not turn in heavy losses.
Soldier: He's the greatest General since Sergeant York.
President Sergio Osmena: You see, General, my people are going to laugh if I fell in deep water. I cannot swim.
General Douglas MacArthur: That's not so bad, Mr. President. Everyone's about to see that I can't walk on water.
Factual error: Just after the start of the Korean War, McArthur places a map of Korea on the hood of a jeep to explain to a subordinate general his plans to invade Inchon. The map shows the boundary of North and South Korea not along the 38th parallel, which was the border at the time (1950), but along today's DMZ - not established until the Korean armistice was signed in 1953.
