MacArthur was also fired in the midst of a war and Truman, like Obama now, received a lot of flack for it. In Truman's defense, however, MacArthur was batshit crazy and would've taken us to war with China if he had his way.
MacArthur was a tremendously famous war hero, though. When the Japanese invaded the Philippines, MacArthur retreated, but in doing so, he made the famous quote "BRB. Keep this motherfucker warm for me." And then he famously came back and killed every Japanese soldier on the island with his glance of stern disapproval.
McChrystal? I doubt half of America ever heard of him before last week.
