More from Dwight Eisenhower
"The American people are tired of empty promises and political double talk."
"The American way of life is based on the conviction that a man has the right to achieve as much as he can, limited only by his ability and his willingness to work."
"The American people are tired of the demagogues and the phonies. They want a straight answer."
"The American people are not going to stand for any more of this nonsense."
"The military-industrial complex is a threat to our democracy. We must guard against it."
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.
