“And also worse than the general he disparages.”

Reread my post please. Eisenhower was a great fan of General Lee and kept Lee's portrait in his office.

"From deep conviction, I simply say this: a nation of men of Lee’s calibre would be unconquerable in spirit and soul. Indeed, to the degree that present-day American youth will strive to emulate his rare qualities, including his devotion to this land as revealed in his painstaking efforts to help heal the Nation’s wounds once the bitter struggle was over, we, in our own time of danger in a divided world, will be strengthened and our love of freedom sustained."

And this is why I shouldn’t post while having a headache.

Though the balance of my comment about Eisenhower’s faithfulness, or lack thereof, to his oath of office still stand on their own.
