In this episode of the Pacific War Podcast, Craig explains to Ian and Justin how General Douglas MacArthur screwed up during the Japanese invasion of the Philippines.
Craig rants about three major issues that occurred during the Japanese invasion of the Philippines. The first was known as the Clark Field Disaster, where MacArthur seemingly did...nothing while the Japanese wiped out his bomber capabilities? There is much more sinister forces at play.
The second covers MacArthur's tinkering of the original contingency plans concerning the Philippines in the case of a war breaking out with Japan: War plan Orange-3 and Rainbow Plan-5.
The third expands on the war planning, explaining how when MacArthur finally initiated the contingency plans, he had already messed them up so badly, the men fighting in Bataan were crippled as a result.
Overall the podcast is a silly Craig rant.
