Did Douglas MacArthur lead U.S. forces against the Communists in the Vietnam War?

Question

If not what war was it?

Answer 1

No. The war you are thinking of was the Korean War.

Answer 2

I think the Vietnam war was in the 60s, and General McArthur was general in the 40's. That is about 20-30 yrs in between.
====================
From WIlkepedia
McArthur, Douglas- WW2 general(January 26, 1880 – April 5, 1964),
He was designated to command the invasion of Japan in November 1945, and when that was no longer necessary he officially accepted their surrender on September 2, 1945.

MacArthur oversaw the occupation of Japan from 1945 to 1951 and is credited for implementing far-ranging democratic changes. He led the United Nations Command forces defending South Korea in 1950–1951 against North Korea's invasion. MacArthur was removed from command by President Harry S. Truman in April 1951 for publicly disagreeing with Truman's Korean War Policy.[2]

MacArthur is credited with the military dictum, "In war, there is no substitute for victory." He fought in three major wars (World War I, World War II, Korean War) and was one of the very few men ever to rise to the rank of General of the Army.
=====================
From WIlkepedia as well;
The Vietnam War, also known as the Second Indochina War and the American War in Vietnam occurred from 1965 to April 30, 1975.

McArthur had already passed away by then at age 85.

Answer 3
