"I am a soldier, and I believe in peace."
"The more I study history, the more I am convinced that the only way to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past is to learn from them."
"The only way to deal with communism is to stand firm and not give an inch."
"I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of the Lord than to dwell in the tents of wickedness."
"The world is too dangerous for anything but truth and too small for anything but brotherhood."
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.
