　　And like the old soldier of that ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty.
　　Good Bye.
　　麥克阿瑟告別演講”。雖然亞洲被認為是通往歐洲的大門，但說歐洲是通往亞洲的大門也沒有錯。
　　說了太多的共知之理，我會簡略我關于亞洲地區(qū)的討論。而不是專橫的引導。這種戰(zhàn)線證明了不是敵方前哨的力量而是我方暴露的弱點使敵人有機可乘太平洋地區(qū)是個令任何強國都虎視眈眈謀求發(fā)展和擴張領土的地方。保護并抵御太平洋上不友好的動機。
　　這是我仍在尋找的要接替我的軍事領頭者應當持有的軍事評估。
　　他們都使用精力來扭曲我的職位。有許多可行性的方法是被個別的公民發(fā)掘的，但是在一個巨大的國際范圍中，技術工人用單一的手段還從未成功過。
　　但是一旦戰(zhàn)爭逼迫著我們發(fā)生，那就沒有選擇的盡力使戰(zhàn)爭盡快結束。我的士兵問我，”。那個我們要拯救的國家、他們要飽受整個海軍和空軍毀滅性的對抗，然而敵人的地盤卻在如此的攻擊和破壞之下全全得到保護，這是受到譴責的。
　　我持久地盡我所能去保護他們光榮地結束這場野蠻的沖突，并且要花費最少的時間，付出最小的犧牲。
　　像那首歌中的老兵一樣，我作為一名在上帝的光輝下盡心盡職的老兵，現(xiàn)在結束我的軍事生涯，悄然隱去。還在本世紀開始前當我加入陸軍時，我孩提時代所有的希望和夢想便實現(xiàn)了。他們對我留下的最后一句話是：”。另外，要避免蘇聯(lián)的干涉。他們無視歷史的教訓，因為歷史無庸質(zhì)疑地強調(diào)了撫慰只能招致更血性的戰(zhàn)爭。如果我們我們不能設計出一些更好更公平的制度，大決戰(zhàn)將近在咫尺。因為對朋友和敵人帶來的破壞已經(jīng)致使一系列國際上的爭論都毫無用處，我倡導這項廢除令很久了。中國，50年前是完全沒有團結意識，分裂成很多團體互相爭斗。
　　在如此狀況下，太平洋代表的不僅僅是預想中的侵略者的一種威脅。由這諸些島嶼我們能支配從海參葳到新加坡亞洲港口的海洋和空中力量。那兒的人民為之拼命的只是為了能得到更多一點食物來填飽肚子，有稍好一點的衣物來遮背，蓋結實些的屋頂在他們的頭上，和普通國民們渴望政治自由的意識。不管誰是否拘泥于殖民的概念，這是亞洲發(fā)展進步的方向且不會被終止。如果潛在性的敵人能將他們的力量分為兩條路線，那對我們來說就要對他們的力量予以反擊。整個人類的希望、抱負、信念都集中于此。quot。39。Why,amp。39。 and in the ensuing process there has been created a truly representative government mitted to the advance of political morality, freedom of economic enterprise, and social justice.
　　Politically, economically, and socially Japan is now abreast of many free nations of the earth and will not again fail the universal trust. That it may be counted upon to wield a profoundly beneficial influence over the course of events in Asia is attested by the magnificent manner in which the Japanese people have met the recent challenge of war, unrest, and confusion surrounding them from the outside and checked munism within their own frontiers without the slightest slackening in their forward progress. I sent all four of our occupation divisions to the Korean battlefront without the slightest qualms as to the effect of the resulting power vacuum upon Japan. The results fully justified my faith. I know of no nation more serene, orderly, and industrious, nor in which higher hopes can be entertained for future constructive service in the advance of the human race.
　　Of our former ward, the Philippines, we can look forward in confidence that the existing unrest will be corrected and a strong and healthy nation will grow in the longer aftermath of waramp。s population, and 60 percent of its natural resources these peoples are rapidly consolidating a new force, both moral and material, with which to raise the living standard and erect adaptations of the design of modern progress to their own distinct cultural environments. Whether one adheres to the concept of colonization or not, this is the direction of Asian progress and it may not be stopped. It is a corollary to the shift of the world economic frontiers as the whole epicenter of world affairs rotates back toward the area whence it started.
　　In this situation, it bees vital that our own country orient its policies in consonance with this basic evolutionary condition rather than pursue a course blind to the reality that the colonial era is now past and the Asian peoples covet the right to shape their own free destiny. What they seek now is friendly guidance, understanding, and support not imperious direction the dignity of equality and not the shame of subjugation. Their prewar standard of life, pitifully low, is infinitely lower now in the devastation left in waramp。此資料由網(wǎng)絡收集而來，如有侵權請告知上傳者立即刪除。39。39。s coastal areas and of Manchuria。quot。s sanctuaries are fully protected from such attack and devastation.
　　Of the nations of the world, Korea alone, up to now, is the sole one which has risked its all against munism. The magnificence of the courage and fortitude of the Korean people defies description.
　　They have chosen to risk death rather than slavery. Their last words to me were: amp。old soldiers never die。我站在這里不為任何黨派目的辯護，因為議題的根本性超出了黨派所能考慮的區(qū)域。共產(chǎn)主義者的威脅是一個全球性的問題。這是世界金融尖端轉(zhuǎn)變的必然結果，就像整個世界事物的中心正循環(huán)著回到它的起始點。這些政治社會性的條件為國內(nèi)安全給予了間接的保障，不過要對慎重考慮過的現(xiàn)時方案建立背景來決定我們是否要避免不切實際的意外事件。有了海洋上的和空中的力量。假定那里是個友好的和平湖畔，我們的防御路線就十分自然而且可花費最小的軍事代價來維持。經(jīng)過過去的五十年中國人開始有了武裝的概念和理想。事實上，在1945年9月2日，就跟在日本國在密蘇里號戰(zhàn)艦上投降后，我正式警告如下：
　　”。問題是神奇的，它涉及到一種精神的再生和人類性格的改進，將與我們在科學、藝術、文學及所有物質(zhì)文化2020年來的發(fā)展近乎史無前例的同步進展。就像敲詐勒索，它爆發(fā)于連續(xù)不斷的新的需求，在威脅中，暴力成為了僅存的另外選擇。似乎沒有一種解釋是有效的，因為中國已經(jīng)表明有了最大限度的影響力，且蘇聯(lián)不會迎合我們的步伐。決不能逃離太平洋!”。自從我在西點廣場上虔誠地宣誓以來，世界已幾經(jīng)傾覆，希望和夢想也早已消失，但我仍記得那時最流行的一首軍歌中
