More from Dwight Eisenhower
"A sense of humor is part of the art of leadership, of getting along with people, of getting things done."
"I'm not a politician. I'm a soldier. And I'm going to run this country like a soldier."
"The world is not a dangerous place because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing."
"I hate to see the day when we get so dependent on the government that we can't do anything for ourselves."
"The United States must be prepared to use atomic weapons in the event of a major war."
About Dwight Eisenhower (1890-1969)
Five-star Allied Supreme Commander in WWII Europe and 34th US President (1953-1961), whose January 1961 farewell address coined 'military-industrial complex.' Closely associated with George C. Marshall (his Army mentor and the Marshall Plan author) and Douglas MacArthur (Pacific Theater rival). For an intellectual contrast, see Joseph McCarthy, Wisconsin Republican senator (1947-1957) — Eisenhower privately despised McCarthy's Communist witch-hunt tactics but publicly tolerated him until McCarthy attacked the US Army in 1954; Ike's quiet engineering of the Army-McCarthy hearings undid McCarthy and ended the worst phase of McCarthyism. The establishment-Republican vs anti-establishment-Republican fault line that still defines the GOP.
