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: During MacArthur's briefing to FDR, he intends to land troops on Leyte Beach, but points to a spot on Lingayen Gulf on the island of Luzon (another beach landing site). Leyte Beach is in the Visayan Islands. A bronze monument stands there today to commemorate that landing. This is also where he made his "I Have Returned" speech.
