Ike was wonderful (even though he graduated dead last in his class at West Point).

Not true. He was 61st out of 164 --- http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/dwight_eisenhower.htm

I stand corrected...sorry about that. The canard that he graduated last in his class I had heard from a few sources...one of them a military movie showing DDE being carried by his West Point classmates as was the tradition for the person who was last in the graduating class (was that in Patton or somewhere else?).
