Dug-Out medal. i am not quite sure of the origin of this medal, or even if it is
political. But here is my thinking on it. General Douglas McArthur was
contemplating running for president against Truman in 1952, many people called
for, and campaigned for him to run. He choose not to. But some folks created
both pro, and anti, buttons and etc. During his military career McArthur was
unfairly criticized for commanding men to do things that he didn't do, giving
orders that caused men to die, while he was in safe places. Some of his critics
called him "Dugout Doug".Dug-Out, maybe Doug-Out? I think that
is what this medal is, an anti McArthur medal when from when he was
contemplating running for President. In good shape, but the ribbon does have a
tear on the front left. I put a piece of clear tape on the back to prevent it
running. Easily repaired. 1 3/4 x 2 1/4 inches, plated white metal or brass.
