He became a five star. Same as Eisenhower and higher ranked than Patton and Bradley in ww2. He pretty much helped get Japan and Korea back on their feet. Japan and Korea never became communist thanks to him. He has alot of faults but he also has several positives.

He would either get it right in a big way or really eff it up, for example Inchon in Korea was a master stroke but had they pushed the Norks out of artillery range of Seoul and then pulled up and dug in instead of trying for the Yalu the Chinese likely never get involved in Korea.

He screwed up in the Philippines and moved his supplies to the beaches instead of Bataan, and parked his planes where they could be taken out early on.

Then at the end of the war he got the occupation of Japan exactly right.
