"I can't tell you how many times I've walked down a street and someone has said, 'Hey, general, how's the war going?' And I've had to say, 'I don't know, I'm just the President.'"
"I am a simple soldier, and I have tried to do my duty."
"I'm not a man given to making rash decisions. I think things through carefully."
"We must be ready to dare all for our country. For history does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid."
"I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity."
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.
